"Until further notice": HSV suspend Dompé after drink-driving incident! | OneFootball

HSV has taken action and suspended winger Jean-Luc Dompé until further notice. The club announced this on Thursday.

As the Rothosen clarified in an official press release, the 30-year-old has been excluded from the training and match operations of the first team after a clarifying conversation with the sporting management. The reason for this decision is “serious misconduct off the pitch.”

Dompé was stopped last Sunday during a traffic check. This was first reported on Wednesday evening by Bild. During a breathalyzer test, the police found a blood alcohol level of 1.4 per mille. HSV responded decisively and made it clear that professionals are not only key players on the field but also “role models and representatives of the club.” This responsibility was once again emphatically brought to Dompé’s attention during a conversation.

HSV continues to discuss the length of the suspension

The phrase “until further notice” emphasizes that the suspension is not time-limited. “The club will decide on further consequences after additional internal discussions have been completed,” it says. Thus, HSV leaves open whether further sporting or internal club sanctions will follow the suspension. In any case, the left winger is certain to miss the upcoming home game against FC Bayern (Saturday, 6:30 p.m.). He will also hardly be able to avoid a hefty fine.

Incidentally, the Frenchman had already had another incident in traffic during his time in Hamburg. In February 2023, he was involved in an illegal street race with his teammate William Mikelbrencis, crashed a BMW into a bus stop in St. Pauli, and then fled the scene. Dompé received a penalty order from the court and had to pay around 45,000 euros. This time, he faces even harsher consequences.
