Hope for HSV: Poulsen and Dompé fit to face Gladbach? | OneFootball

In the DFB-Pokal, HSV had to do without Yussuf Poulsen and Jean-Luc Dompé. Against Gladbach, the attacking duo should be an option again!

At the start of the last week of training before the Bundesliga season, Hamburger SV was able to welcome back two important returnees. While captain Sebastian Schonlau will probably leave the club and switch to the MLS, Yussuf Poulsen and Jean-Luc Dompé give the Hanseatic team new hope for the upcoming duel against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Poulsen, who came from Leipzig in the summer and was immediately appointed captain, participated fully in team training again on Wednesday. After a thigh strain, the striker had to pause for several weeks. However, he now completed all game forms without any restrictions. With that, a place in the squad for the away game on the Lower Rhine should no longer be in the way.

HSV hopes for a joker deployment of Dompé

Dompé could also play a role again sooner than expected. The Frenchman has been working meticulously on his return after a sprained ankle and is now doing his first exercises with the team. Although he then switched to rehab trainer Sebastian Capel, head coach Merlin Polzin sees at least a chance for a joker deployment in the Borussia Park. "He's ahead of the actual schedule," he had previously announced.

The return of the top scorer of the previous season can hardly be awaited by many fans. In the test matches against European competition, he indicated that he could also show his qualities in a higher league. Youngster Alexander Rössing-Lelesiit, who was allowed to play on the left side in the last few weeks, underlined his great potential at least in phases and should be in the starting lineup again against Gladbach.

There are question marks, however, with Robert Glatzel, who had to pause training on Wednesday due to foot problems. The striker is not an option for the starting lineup anyway after a complicated preparation.
