HSV seek Grønbaek replacement: Polzin rejects this idea | OneFootball

Albert Grønbaek is already back in the gym after suffering a muscle fiber tear. On the pitch, however, the in-form Dane will still be unavailable to HSV for some time.

Merlin Polzin therefore has to find a solution for his spot in the left attacking half-space. One option that has recently been discussed publicly is unlikely to play much of a role. Miro Muheim has been mentioned by parts of the media and fan base as a possible replacement in the number 10 position. As a technically gifted left-footer, the Swiss player certainly has offensive qualities that could come through even more strongly in midfield.

Polzin, however, is skeptical about that idea. “I don’t know if that’s the right approach,” the HSV coach said according to Mopo on Tuesday about a possible move for Muheim to the left-sided number 10 role.

Instead, there are several signs that the 28-year-old will return to his usual spot on the left against FC Copenhagen in Sunday’s friendly. With David Møller Wolfe (Norway) and Louis Lemke (Germany U19) away with their national teams, Muheim is likely to get a chance. “Given his quality, Miro is always a candidate to put himself forward for the team when he gets close to 100 percent,” Polzin explained.

Adeline could get a chance in HSV’s number 10 role

Meanwhile, there are other ideas for the vacant attacking position. Martin Adeline could get the chance to impress again after making two starts at the beginning of the season. “We want to use Albert’s absence to give the other guys confidence,” said Polzin. A system tweak with two strikers and Fábio Vieira as a central number 10 is also conceivable in principle. Although injuries to Terem Moffi and Patson Daka could make such a scenario more difficult.

Incidentally, Muheim has not only been discussed around HSV as a backup option for the number 10 role. One or two observers have also suggested the Swiss international as a possible candidate for the left-sided role in a back three. That way, Muheim could help energize Hamburg’s often sluggish build-up play. But that idea also seems unlikely to come to anything. The fact that he is being linked with such different positions mainly shows that Muheim has a skill set that is attractive for many different demands – and that HSV currently has several problem areas.
