Yet to feature: Baldé becoming a worry for HSV! | OneFootball

Fabio Baldé is currently missing significant parts of HSV's preparation. The youngster was frequently absent last season as well.

Hamburger SV is grappling with familiar worries in the midst of preparing for the Bundesliga season. The repeated absence of Fabio Baldé is particularly troubling for the coaching team led by Merlin Polzin. The 20-year-old also missed the start of training on Monday. According to club information, an infection forces him to sit out again.

Thus, Baldé continues a so far frustrating summer preparation: Already in the first training week in early July, he had to pass due to a groin injury. Now a persistent cold forces him to take a break.

The result: Baldé has not played in any of the five test matches so far. While his direct competitors like Alexander Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit or the strong Emir Sahiti are increasingly stepping into the limelight, the list of his missed opportunities is getting longer and longer.

Will Baldé also miss against Freiburg?

From Baldé's perspective, this is particularly bitter: Already last season, the homegrown player, who has been with the club since 2020, had to struggle with recurring physical problems. Four absences for various reasons - from illnesses to muscular complaints - resulted in him missing a total of eight league games. Now this pattern seems to continue.

Because it is still unclear when Baldé will be fully operational again. Even his participation in the upcoming test match against SC Freiburg on Saturday (behind closed doors) is considered highly doubtful according to Mopo information. So the likelihood of the youngster being an option for regular appearances by the start of the season against Borussia Mönchengladbach is becoming increasingly unlikely. Along with the injured Immanuel Pherai, the Hamburg-born player is slowly but surely becoming a concern for the squad.
