Season not over after all! 2 HSV stars set to return against Bayer | OneFootball

HSV appear to have not just one but two positive squad updates ahead of the season finale against Bayer Leverkusen (Saturday, 3:30 p.m.).

After there had recently already been talk of a likely end to the season, the Red Shorts can suddenly hope again for the return of Robert Glatzel and Miro Muheim. As reported by the Hamburger Abendblatt, both players could yet make it onto the pitch again in Leverkusen.

The situation had looked much more dramatic, especially in Glatzel’s case. In recent days, many media outlets had speculated that the striker might not play another game for HSV at all. The reason is a calf strain the 32-year-old suffered last week. However, his recovery is apparently going better than expected.

On Wednesday, Glatzel still completed an individual program, but within the club there is hope that he could return to team training as early as Thursday or Friday. That would significantly increase the chances of him featuring in Leverkusen. The match would carry special significance for the veteran: despite a contract that runs until 2027, his future beyond the summer remains open. According to a report by Bild from last week, the trend points toward a departure.

HSV: Muheim has a good chance of featuring

The outlook for Miro Muheim is also much better than initially assumed. The left-back injured his foot a few weeks ago in the North derby against Werder Bremen (1:3). HSV subsequently spoke of an “expected end to the season.” At times, there were even concerns about a potentially longer layoff, possibly stretching to the World Cup with Switzerland. In the meantime, however, the 28-year-old seems to be well on his way back.

Muheim was at least able to complete parts of the warm-up program during public training on Wednesday and is even considered slightly further along than Glatzel. In both cases, the next two training days are likely to be decisive. But there is definitely hope for an unexpected return.
