Hint of intent? How HSV could line up against Gladbach! | OneFootball

In the previous preparation, a clear HSV starting lineup has not yet been found. But with a view to Gladbach, the training is providing initial insights.

It's slowly getting serious: After two training-free days at the beginning of the week, Hamburger SV is intensively preparing for the upcoming Bundesliga game at Borussia Mönchengladbach (August 24). After a very bumpy preparation, however, it has only been possible to crystallize to a limited extent which personnel head coach Merlin Polzin wants to challenge the Foals with.

The training on Thursday provided the first indications of a possible starting lineup. Particularly striking: Captain Yussuf Poulsen is an option from the bank after his comeback. After the first training on Wednesday, the Dane now completed the complete team program and even got into duels.

Poulsen could thus relieve the established Ransford Königsdörffer in the attack. While the German-Ghanaian consistently trained in the A-team, Poulsen worked in the B-team. In the striker hierarchy, he should therefore be ahead of Robert Glatzel, who was able to participate in training again on Thursday after a short break.

HSV: Who plays alongside Capaldo?

Meanwhile, in the midfield center, everything points to the following variant: Polzin and his coaching team seem to be relying on Nicolas Capaldo and Nicolai Remberg for the time being. Vice-captain Jonas Meffert would have to be content with a place on the bench in this case.

The situation in goal remains particularly exciting: Daniel Peretz was consistently in the suspected A-team in training! Is promotion hero Daniel Heuer Fernandes threatened with the loss of his regular place? The final decision is likely to fall just before the start of the game.

In the three-man defense, Polzin is staying true to his proven personnel. Jordan Torunarigha continues to occupy the left center-back position despite a weak preparation, Daniel Elfadli is firmly established in the center, and Warmed Omari is the first choice on the right side until another new signing is made.

On the right wing, Emir Sahiti currently has the edge over Rayan Philippe. Already in preparation, the technically strong Kosovar made a more playful impression. In the DFB Cup duel at FK Pirmasens (2:1 a.e.t.), however, Philippe started - and disappointed. Sahiti, on the other hand, was able to set certain impulses as a joker. The possible reward? A place in the starting lineup against Borussia Mönchengladbach! 📈💪
