In the squad for Bayern? Here’s the latest on Dompé! | OneFootball

After two joker appearances at the start of the season, HSV temporarily took Jean-Luc Dompé out of training. Will he still be fit to play against Bayern?

Hamburger SV is looking forward to perhaps its toughest game in recent years: On Saturday evening (6.30 p.m., Sky), the promoted team will be guests at FC Bayern. Of course, the roles are clearly defined. The record champion is the overwhelming favorite in the match, while HSV will primarily seek its salvation in working against the ball. However, they will also need moments of relief.

One name in particular comes into focus: Jean-Luc Dompé. The 30-year-old winger was one of the decisive factors for the promotion of the Rothosen. With 23 goal involvements in 32 games, he led the club's scorer list and became a fan favorite. But just in time for the Bundesliga comeback, he was plagued by a persistent ankle injury that put him out of action for weeks. In the previous matches against Gladbach (0:0) and St. Pauli (0:2), he was only able to make brief appearances. His creativity was noticeably missed by the team.

Is Dompé ready for Bayern?

Just in time for the guest appearance in Munich, Dompé could, however, celebrate his starting eleven debut in the Bundesliga. According to a report by the Bild , the offensive player has made significant progress in training recently and is said to be "able to cope for perhaps an hour and longer". This would make him a real option for head coach Merlin Polzin from the start.

Especially against Bayern, the lightning-fast Frenchman could be important. With his dynamism on the flanks and his ability to create danger in one-on-one situations, he offers HSV the chance for quick counterattacks. However, the coaching team is likely to make a final decision about his participation only on Friday, just before setting off for Munich.
