No comeback in sight yet: HSV star gets extra training! | OneFootball

At HSV, the worry lines over the latest absences are growing deeper and deeper. And for one currently injured star, a quick comeback does not appear to be on the horizon either.

Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit is now back training with the team, but a swift return to competitive action still does not seem likely. Sunday’s friendly also comes too soon for the 19-year-old. The Rothosen do not want to take an early risk and cause another injury. This emerges from a report by Bild.

HSV coach Polzin does not give a prognosis

The break was simply too long for that, coach Merlin Polzin confirmed: “Alex has taken part in parts of team training. We’ll increase that step by step.” Similar to Mario Vuskovic, whose return to football was delayed for much longer for very different reasons, Polzin also does not want to give any forecast on Røssing-Lelesiit’s return. His individual program is therefore continuing for now.

He could then make his comeback with the U21s. But even there, it will likely be important that the matches in which he is used take place on natural grass. The artificial turf on which, among other things, the U21s’ home games at Stadion Hohe Luft are played is not exactly considered ideal conditions for players making their return.

Injuries keep haunting Røssing-Lelesiit

The 19-year-old moved from Lillestrøm to Hamburg in February 2025 for €2.8 million. The left winger’s ability is beyond doubt, but bad luck with injuries has kept following him. In January of this year, he tore his syndesmotic ligament in the derby against St. Pauli after a foul. In May, the attacking player twisted his ankle again, and the same ligaments were damaged once more.

Most recently, the injury concerns have continued to pile up. Along with Grønbæk, there were also worries about Patson Daka; both had already returned to Hamburg during the international break. Center-back Warmed Omari, meanwhile, played the full match for Comoros against Namibia in Africa Cup qualification. Zakarias El Ouahdi also completed the full 90 minutes in Morocco’s win.
