HSV: What’s next for Katterbach

HSV removed Noah Katterbach from the professional squad for two weeks due to disciplinary reasons. Now he is allowed to make a new start.

Today, Monday, Hamburger SV began preparations for the challenging away game at RB Leipzig. On the training field was also Noah Katterbach. In a brief statement on the homepage, the club announced that the 24-year-old, who was demoted to the second team due to unspecified misconduct, is returning to professional training "after a clarifying conversation with the sports management and the coaching team."

About three weeks ago, Katterbach had to move to the regional league team. However, it was stated at the time that the measure – unlike in the case of Levin Öztunali – was "not a fundamental decision." The officials further emphasized: "The club is convinced that Noah Katterbach will use the current pause for reflection and will emerge strengthened from this situation."

HSV: Katterbach played three times in the regional league

During his suspension, the full-back played three regional league matches. "He received good feedback with the U21," reported sports director Claus Costa last week. Last Saturday, Katterbach played his last game in the fourth division for the time being. HSV won – led by an outstanding Immanuel Pherai – the small northern derby against Werder Bremen with 6:2.

The match practice likely did Katterbach good. Prior to that, he only played test matches in 2025 after suffering a cruciate ligament tear during preparations for the second half of the second division season. Remarkably quickly, the left-footer returned to team training, but only made it into the matchday squad once in the current season. From now on, he is again considered a candidate, but he must continue to contend with strong competition that has impressed in recent Bundesliga appearances.
