A real surprise is taking shape at HSV two weeks before the end of the season. There is positive news about Miro Muheim!

The left-back could return much sooner than expected after his injury and make it back onto the pitch before the end of this season.

Just a few weeks ago, it looked as though Muheim’s season was over. In the northern derby against Werder Bremen (1:3, Muheim), the 28-year-old suffered an ankle injury that was initially thought to be more serious. “For the eight-time Switzerland international, the injury is expected to mean the end of the season,” was the gloomy prognosis from the Rothosen afterward.

There were even concerns about his participation in the upcoming World Cup in North and Central America. But Muheim himself, HSV, and the “Nati” can all breathe a sigh of relief: the left-footer is already back doing rehab training and is apparently making great progress.

HSV hoping for Muheim return against Leverkusen!

“It looks very positive with him,” HSV coach Merlin Polzin said optimistically on Wednesday. It may still be a bit tight for the upcoming match against Freiburg (Sunday, 3:30 p.m.), but a comeback is within reach. “Miro absolutely has to be there in Leverkusen,” said Polzin. The season finale against the Werkself will take place on May 16 (3:30 p.m.).

There is more positive news from HSV’s treatment room besides Muheim: Jordan Torunarigha is also close to returning to training after recovering from a head injury. The center-back is expected to be back in full training with his teammates as early as Thursday. Meanwhile, Fábio Vieira was absent from the Volkspark. The Portuguese player had won an all-season training challenge set by assistant coach Loic Favé and was rewarded with a day off.
