HSV comeback nears: Vuskovic gets special praise from Bremen! | OneFootball

Mario Vuskovic’s return is stirring great emotions at HSV. But a player from their biggest rival is also full of anticipation.

Ludovit Reis, who now plays for Werder Bremen, shares a close friendship with Vuskovic. Both arrived in Hamburg in the summer of 2021 and stayed in touch even during the center-back’s long doping ban. “We still talk on the phone a lot,” Reis revealed to the Werder portal Deichstube. The relief over his former teammate’s return is correspondingly great: “I have a lot of love for him and I’m really looking forward to him finally being able to play again.”

Vuskovic will still have to be a little patient, however. Although the 24-year-old is now back training with the team, he will not be eligible to play until mid-November. Of all matches, the Northern derby against Werder Bremen on November 22 is seen as a possible comeback game. For Reis, however, the exact timing does not matter. “Whether that’s against us or a week later isn’t so important. The main thing is that he plays again,” said the Dutchman.

Because of Vuskovic: Reis gives HSV fans great reason for hope

The Bremen player is especially impressed by his friend’s mentality. Four years without a competitive match, numerous setbacks, and still never giving up – for Reis, that is an extraordinary achievement. “In terms of character and mentality, I’ve never seen a player who is that strong,” he said in praise of the HSV professional. Vuskovic never stopped working, trains every day, and is doing everything he can to return to his old level after his long enforced break.

Reis is therefore convinced that the Croatian will also quickly find his feet again on the pitch. “A lot of people will be positively surprised when they see him play again.” Those are words that will surely be music to the ears of many HSV fans.
