Vušković future: this hint has HSV fans worried | OneFootball

It has only been a few days since Mario Vušković was allowed to train with his teammates again for the first time after his doping ban. A hint from England is now making some fans a little nervous: it concerns the center-back’s future.

It is no secret that former HSV star Luka and his long-suspended brother Mario Vušković would love to play together one day — and it is probably a wish anyone can understand. However, the chances of that dream coming true in Hamburg are quite slim.

Luka Vušković joined Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion permanently in the summer after his loan spell at HSV. After just a few matchdays, one thing is already clear: in England too, the 19-year-old breakout star quickly established himself as a regular in central defense.

Mario Vušković is expected to take his first steps back into professional football at HSV. From November onward, he should also be able to return to competitive matches. Could the two brothers’ paths still cross in England in the future?

A comment from Brighton’s German coach, Fabian Hürzeler, is now turning heads. In an interview with Sky, he spoke among other things about the Vušković family, whom he got to know during the negotiations over Luka’s transfer. The former St. Pauli coach said he had a long conversation with their mother and immediately noticed how passionate the family is about sports. The parents fully support both of their sons. Luka, for his part, supported his brother through the difficult period of his doping ban.

Training comeback at HSV impressed Hürzeler

His much-celebrated return to training last week also caught Hürzeler’s attention: “Of course, you also notice the excitement building in Hamburg, at the first training session with 8,000 spectators,” he told Sky in the interview. He said it was something special and also showed how football brings people together. The coach was impressed: “The way football sparks emotions and creates certain bonds — that’s why you follow this family especially closely.”

The question also came up whether Mario Vušković could one day play for a Premier League club as well, if his performances on the pitch return to the level he showed before the ban. And whether that could perhaps even happen alongside his brother at Brighton.

Mario Vušković to England? Hürzeler: “Anything can happen”

If the numbers are right, anything can happen, Hürzeler replied. Brighton has a very data-driven scouting setup. But for now, it is naturally up to Mario to find his rhythm again and perform well. Hürzeler himself said he is very much rooting for him: “We wish him a great start after a really long break that he had to take. I’ve heard that physically he is at the highest level. That speaks in his favor. So I hope he gets off to a good start, and then we’ll see what happens.”

From HSV’s point of view, that is something to hope for as well. And if he really does perform as brilliantly as his brother, HSV fans would probably bid him farewell with the same wistful but proud feeling they had in Luka’s case.
