For more game time: HSV send Pherai to the U21s! | OneFootball

After a preparation period plagued by injuries, Immanuel Pherai is still waiting for his first appearance of the season. He is therefore gaining match practice with the U21s.

The reserve team of Hamburger SV has had a complicated start to the season: from seven games, coach Lukas Anderer’s team has collected only four points. As sixteenth in the table, the young Rothosen are therefore right in the middle of the relegation battle.

For the match against newly promoted HSC Hannover, the youth team is now receiving prominent support: Immanuel Pherai, Silvan Hefti, and Gui Ramos will be included in the squad against the team from Lower Saxony.

Merlin Polzin emphasized on Tuesday above all the individual benefit for the players. “For Manu, it is extremely important that he gets playing time. He was very happy about this opportunity and is eager to play,” said Polzin about Pherai, who is still waiting for minutes with the first team. At the start of summer preparations, the playmaker suffered a partial tear of the medial ligament and therefore entered the season with a significant training deficit.

Hefti and Ramos on their way out of HSV?

Hefti and Ramos also have the chance to collect valuable minutes by temporarily playing in the Regionalliga Nord. “Gui and Silvan know their situation. They can get playing time there that we currently cannot offer them. At the same time, it’s important that we help each other within the club. It also helps the U21 guys that they get support there,” explains Polzin.

However, the background for Hefti and Ramos is different from that of Pherai. Both players are considered candidates for release within the club and could leave if the right offer comes in. But although the transfer window is still open in some countries, little has happened so far.

HSV “incredibly” excited for Bayern

While the trio takes part in the eighth match of the reserve team’s season, the focus of the first team is increasingly shifting to the top match against FC Bayern. Polzin in particular is enthusiastic about the upcoming challenge: “We are incredibly excited for this match. It’s something very special. We’re playing against one of the strongest teams in Europe. We have worked very hard to earn the right to face FC Bayern in a league match.”

The 34-year-old made it clear: “It is non-negotiable how we want to present ourselves with and without the ball. That will be a key focus in our match preparation, so that we stay true to our path.”
