The one position HSV don't lack: 5 keepers at training camp! | OneFootball

This summer, HSV are looking to strengthen in almost every position. Between the posts, however, the Rothosen are already exceptionally well stocked.

When HSV head to their training camp in Denmark on Tuesday, no fewer than five goalkeepers will be on board. That is according to Mopo. The quintet is, of course, led by Daniel Heuer Fernandes. The 33-year-old goes into the new season as the undisputed number one and, after his strong promotion campaign, is one of the most important pillars of the squad. At the end of May, the fan favorite, who has been at the Volkspark since 2019, extended his contract until 2028.

His backup and challenger, Sander Tangvik, was also originally supposed to travel to the training camp. However, the Norwegian is away with his national team at the World Cup in North America and will begin his quarter-final on Saturday (11 p.m.). After his return, Tangvik will first be given his well-deserved vacation before joining team training later than the rest. On the final Bundesliga matchday against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, the highly gifted goalkeeper had already hinted at the potential he possesses.

HSV are remarkably well stocked

Even so, HSV coach Merlin Polzin can carry out all training drills as planned. Several youth goalkeepers will make sure of that. Fernando Dickes is traveling to Helsingør despite his shoulder injury and will complete his rehabilitation program there. Following Hannes Herrmann’s loan move to third-division side Jahn Regensburg, the 18-year-old is considered a candidate for the role of the new number three. Also included are U21 goalkeeper Colin Poppelbaum, U19 keeper Elias Lahti, and the experienced Bennet Schmidt.

While HSV are still urgently looking for reinforcements in other positions, the situation between the posts is remarkably comfortable. With an established first-choice Bundesliga goalkeeper, a talented challenger, and several promising young players waiting in the wings, the Hamburg side have little to worry about in both the short and long term.
