HSV team-mate backs Vuskovic: „Can use him straight away“ | OneFootball

On Tuesday afternoon, Mario Vušković returned to HSV after his suspension. Following the first session, an HSV player has now also spoken about the special comeback.

It was an unprecedented return, and it was given the fitting stage. Vušković returned to HSV training on Tuesday afternoon after more than four years of suspension for doping. Around 7,500 fans attended his first session, which was held at the Volksparkstadion due to the huge public interest. But it was not a normal Tuesday just for the fans — it wasn’t for the rest of the HSV family either.

While the center-back himself is still not allowed to give interviews or take part in autograph sessions, and also remains suspended from competitive matches until November, one of the Hamburg professionals spoke about the impressive day.

Vušković comeback electrifies HSV star

Miro Muheim had shared the pitch with Vušković before his doping suspension. In training on Saturday, the two teammates were able to play together again for the first time in more than four years. Accordingly, he spoke with great emotion and enthusiasm.

Speaking to Bild, the left-back said: “It’s unbelievably nice to finally see him again.” Outsiders could not imagine how he must have felt over the past four years. Vušković had been incredibly emotional on his return. “He’s such a strong character, with such incredible determination. We can really use a character like that here,” Muheim explained.

Muheim: “We can use him straight away”

What HSV fans will love to hear is Muheim’s assessment of the center-back’s comeback. He does not believe the right-footer will have major problems settling back in at HSV. That had already become clear: “We’ll definitely be able to use him in the dressing room right away.” Still, there was one small caveat: “On the pitch, he needs to take it slowly. We won’t put any pressure on him.”

That is the same line being taken by everyone currently speaking about the Croatian’s return with the greatest possible enthusiasm. The bar should not be set too high. Instead of pressure, teammates, former colleagues, club bosses and fans are currently giving him a soft red-carpet welcome. Above all, it sends one message: we’re simply happy that you’re back. Everything else, then, will and should be shown by time.

Despite his history with the Red Shorts, Vušković is currently getting to know many new faces. Alongside Miro Muheim, only Daniel Heuer Fernandes and Bakery Jatta remain at Hamburger SV from the squad back then. For the northern club, Vušković also hopes to soon be back chasing points wearing the number 44 shirt.
