Long-time exit candidate, Muheim explains staying at HSV | OneFootball

Miro Muheim is already in his sixth season with HSV. But for a long time, it was far from certain that things would turn out this way.

For almost the entire summer, the Swiss player was linked with a move away. However, the rumors never really became concrete. Aside from Greek top club Olympiakos, hardly any specifically named interested parties emerged.

Speculation grew especially loud once again on Deadline Day, when HSV signed another left-back in the form of David Möller Wolfe. As a result, quite a few fans still expected him to leave even after the transfer window had closed. Muheim could, for example, have moved back to his native Switzerland – or to Greece instead.

“It wasn’t easy to focus on football because there was so much coverage and speculation,” Muheim has now admitted. “Then, on top of that, I picked up an injury at an unfortunate time.” The 28-year-old is referring to his persistent adductor problems, which kept him sidelined for around three weeks. The result: he has yet to make a competitive appearance this season.

HSV: Muheim comeback against Cologne possible

That could change very soon, however. Muheim is now back in full training and has been looking in good shape there. According to the Hamburger Abendblatt, the left-footer made a strong impression on Tuesday during Mario Vuskovic’s comeback. He reportedly stood out with intelligent passes and assists.

There is no lack of motivation either. “I’m here because I want to be here,” Muheim made clear, adding: “The club wants me here too, and that’s what I was told. I accept the competition and I’m looking forward to being back on the pitch soon.”

It could happen as soon as next weekend in the important home game against 1. FC Cologne (Saturday, 3:30 p.m.). “I’m fit,” assured the Swiss international, who could at least be an intriguing option off the bench.
