Finally fit to play? HSV pin hopes on Dompé against Heidenheim | OneFootball

Jean-Luc Dompé is still waiting for his first starting lineup appearance this season. Will it happen in the crucial match against Heidenheim?

After the bitter and clear 0-5 defeat at FC Bayern, Hamburger SV is looking ahead. With an eye on the home game against 1. FC Heidenheim (September 20, 3:30 PM), they are hoping for important returnees. One name, in particular, is in focus: Jean-Luc Dompé.

The winger was absent in Munich due to his ankle problems, but he recently trained individually at Volkspark and made significant progress. There were no setbacks. According to Mopo information, everything indicates that the 30-year-old will return to team training at the beginning of the week. Thus, he could be an option against Heidenheim, possibly even for the starting lineup.

Dompé's speed and one-on-one skills could provide HSV with the urgently needed impulses in their offensive play. After three season games, the promoted team is still waiting for their first goal.

HSV: Dompé with the best comeback chances

The involvement of Yussuf Poulsen remains questionable. The captain, who was also not in the squad in Munich, is still being cautiously introduced to higher loads. The medical department does not want to take any risks after the recurring muscle problems and is deliberately managing the Dane's workload. A return against Heidenheim therefore seems unlikely. Instead, Poulsen is to be gradually built up in the coming weeks to be permanently resilient.

The situation with Jordan Torunarigha is also unclear. The defender is plagued by Achilles tendon problems and is currently not pain-free. A short-term comeback is possible but anything but certain.

Thus, the hopes of the Hanseatics rest mainly on Dompé. HSV fans might already look forward to the outstanding individual qualities of their perhaps best soloist in the basement duel with Heidenheim. The coming days will bring final clarity.
