Surgery done: how long Røssing-Lelesiit is out for HSV! | OneFootball

The last few months have gone anything but according to plan for Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit. Once again, he will be sidelined for a long time at HSV.

As reported by the Hamburger Abendblatt, the Norwegian underwent surgery on Tuesday as planned and without complications. Nevertheless, the Rothosen will once again have to do without the 19-year-old for several months.

According to the current situation, Røssing-Lelesiit is expected to be out for at least three months. A return to team training is therefore only realistic at the earliest after the start of the season at the end of August. That means the talent will effectively miss the entire preparation for the new campaign. This news is a major setback for both the player and the club.

What makes it especially bitter: Røssing-Lelesiit had only just returned from a lengthy spell out earlier this year. Back then, the Norwegian suffered a syndesmosis ligament tear in the derby against FC St. Pauli (0:0) and was sidelined for around three months. All the greater was the hope that the attacker could really kick on again after his return.

An HSV teammate as a positive example?

But that is not going to happen. Of all times, in his very first training week after his comeback, Røssing-Lelesiit recently suffered another injury to his syndesmosis. The subsequent operation was now carried out in Flensburg. That is where teammate Warmed Omari also underwent a procedure at the start of the season.

This case gives those in charge at least some hope. The center-back also suffered a serious injury back then involving the syndesmosis. His rehabilitation then progressed faster than expected and without any setbacks whatsoever. Will it be exactly the same for Røssing-Lelesiit?

At HSV, the original plan had been to help the former million-euro signing make his comeback before the end of the current season. After the summer break, he was supposed to prepare for the club’s second Bundesliga year together with his teammates and in peak physical condition. For the time being, that will not happen.
