Persistent injury: HSV star could miss Bayern clash! | OneFootball

Jean-Luc Dompé only played as a substitute in the first two season games. The injury from the preparation still bothers him.

Hamburger SV is worried about the away game at FC Bayern (13.09, 6:30 pm) about Jean-Luc Dompé. The 30-year-old continues to struggle with a stubborn ankle injury that has accompanied him since the beginning of August. Although Dompé was able to make two short appearances at the start of the season, the complaints prove to be more persistent than initially assumed.

"Jean-Luc was never really at 100 percent. That's why we completely took him out of team training during the international break as a precaution," HSV coach Merlin Polzin is quoted by the Mopo .

While defender Jordan Torunarigha is expected to return to team training after a short break early next week, the situation with Dompé is more complicated: The Frenchman only completed individual training in the last few days and is now to be gradually introduced to higher loads.

HSV decides next week about Dompé's deployment

Whether the time until the next Bundesliga game in Munich is sufficient is completely open. "In the best case, he will be fit in time," says Polzin. "But it only makes sense if he is completely free of complaints. Especially his one-on-one strength depends on him being physically fit." Therefore, playing under pain should be avoided

For HSV, a failure would be bitter, even if the game at the record champion is likely to be characterized by defensive discipline anyway. Nevertheless, Polzin would not like to do without the offensive power of his best winger, especially since the Hanseatic League could use any form of relief against a dominantly playing opponent like Bayern. Dompé still has about a week left.
