HSV injury update: two touch and go, one gets green light | OneFootball

In recent days, there has been uncertainty regarding the availability of three HSV players for the match against VfB Stuttgart. Here is the current status.

Three days before the home game against VfB Stuttgart, the personnel situation at Hamburger SV is easing, at least in one crucial area. Left winger Jean-Luc Dompé, who had been following an individual program due to ongoing Achilles tendon issues, returned to team training on Thursday.

According to Hamburger Abendblatt, the 30-year-old was able to complete the session without major restrictions. This clearly indicates that he is set to play: Dompé is likely to be available on Sunday (3:30 PM, DAZN) at the Volksparkstadion.

Two other HSV players absent

The situation with the other injured players is far less clear. Captain Yussuf Poulsen and defensive all-rounder Daniel Elfadli continue to work away from the team. Polzin had already stated at the beginning of the week that there was a theoretical chance for both players to participate in the duel against VfB, but also emphasized that it would be "very, very tight."

This impression remained unchanged on Thursday. Their individual sessions suggest that a short-term appearance is rather unlikely. It is quite possible that they will only be ready for the DFB-Pokal round of 16 against Holstein Kiel next Wednesday.

Nicolas Capaldo and goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes also did not participate in the training. Capaldo worked alongside Poulsen and Elfadli, while Heuer Fernandes was completely absent from the session. However, both regular players are expected to return to team training before the Stuttgart game and thus be available on match day.
