Hamburger SV player injury crisis and squad updates

Overview

Hamburger SV continues to navigate a significant injury crisis. Midfielder Albert Grønbæk, a key performer with four goal contributions this season, is expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks due to a muscle fiber tear in his right thigh sustained during a UEFA Nations League match. This marks his fourth muscle injury in nine months.

Striker Terem Moffi remains unavailable due to knee issues involving fluid accumulation, which has impacted his availability for matches including the fixture against FC Copenhagen. While winger Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit has returned to team training following a syndesmosis ligament tear, he is not yet match-ready. Conversely, defender Sebastiaan Bornauw has recovered from muscular problems and is expected to return to the lineup, providing much-needed relief to a defense that has struggled to keep clean sheets.

Following a streak of three consecutive victories—the club’s first such feat in the Bundesliga in 16 years—the squad is beginning to stabilize. Coach Merlin Polzin confirmed the return of Albert Sambi Lokonga, Patson Daka, and veteran Bakery Jatta ahead of the match against SC Paderborn. While there are no current short-term absences, the staff is managing the workloads of defenders Nicolás Capaldo and Jordan Torunarigha. To compensate for the long-term injury to captain Nicolai Remberg, Polzin has utilized a midfield trio of Martin Adeline, Bilal Nadir, and Miro Muheim, a formation that contributed to a recent 1-0 victory against Stuttgart.
