Transfer off the table? HSV youngster sidelined with foot fracture! | OneFootball

HSV bosses actually wanted to loan out Bilal Yalcinkaya this summer. But an injury could now thwart these plans.

The plan was actually clear: HSV talent Bilal Yalcinkaya was supposed to be loaned out during this transfer window to gain important match experience at another club. But suddenly, the next intended step is on shaky ground: According to Mopo information, the 19-year-old has suffered a broken foot and will be out for at least six weeks.

This puts the transfer plans for the attacking player, who became U17 World Champion with Germany in 2023, far out of reach. Yalcinkaya is considered one of the club’s most promising youngsters and recently impressed with solid performances for the U21s. However, competition in the attacking positions is fierce, which is why the management favored a loan. This option now threatens to fall through.

HSV: Yalcinkaya set for loan to the 2. Bundesliga?

The setback hits Yalcinkaya doubly hard. Just three weeks ago, he suffered a thigh injury in a Regionalliga match against Hannover 96 II. Having just returned, he’s been struck again. The diagnosis: broken foot! The teenager has to walk on crutches and needs a special shoe. It’s still undecided whether surgery will be necessary.

There were several interested parties for the youngster, including from the 2nd and 3rd divisions as well as from the Netherlands and Austria. Whether a last-minute transfer will succeed despite the injury remains questionable. “One or two clubs are still considering a loan,” reports Mopo, but a postponement to the winter transfer window seems just as realistic.

Besides Yalcinkaya, HSV wants to part ways with more players. Defensive talent Joel Agyekum is set to be loaned out, and experienced professionals like Sebastian Schonlau, Silvan Hefti, Gui Ramos, and Bakery Jatta are also on the list to leave. To what extent these plans can be realized by the deadline day remains to be seen.
