In the bustling Volkspark, coach Tim Walter's discontentment was palpable among the HSV pros on Tuesday morning.
The coach's displeasure with the team's performance couldn't be missed as he loudly pointed out their blunders. The training session ended prematurely with his blunt exclamation, "This is a crap ball... pack up!"
The coach's demeanor might have softened slightly while considering the team's roster situation. Defender Stephan Ambrosius (24), working through ankle and muscular issues, made some leeway in the rehabilitation area and later joined the team for the afternoon's training session.
With hope blooming that Ambrosius could step onto the pitch against Braunschweig on Friday (6 pm), the team saw a glimmer of good fortune. Guilherme Ramos (26) also made some progress. His previous adductor problems were keeping him at an arm's length during the morning session, but by the second round, he was back to peak fitness.
Laszlo Benes (26) was absent, MIA from HSV training. However, contrary to speculation, there was no injury concern. Benes had only recently returned to Hamburg after his latest international trip and was simply given a day off to rest in the fitness room.
- Walter's frustration mingled with the chilly air during training, expressing his dismay at HSV's subpar performance in the recent Bundesliga 2 match.
- Ambrosius's encouraging advancement in therapy means he could potentially boost HSV's Second Bundesliga chances against Braunschweig, provided he recovers fully before the match.
- Guilherme Ramos returned to full fitness after addressing his adductor issues, ready to contribute positively to the team's performances.
- While Benes missed training due to a day of rest, no injuries were reported, with Benes responsibly tending to his fitness in the team's facilities.
- Sports headlines in Hamburg reported on HSV's injury developments and training progress in local sports publications, such as Lighthouse Hamburg's regio sport hamburg website.
