Future open: Will Timo Letschert never play for HSV again?

It had already been indicated on Thursday, yesterday HSV was certain: Timo Letschert sustained an inner ligament injury in training.

“He probably didn’t pull anything, but he just pulled a strain. Timo would not be available for Sunday and a possible relegation, ”said Dieter Hecking. Bitter for the Hamburgers who, after Jordan Beyer’s yellow card suspension, now have to do two modifications in the defense.

HSV defense boss plagued injuries

Bitter, however, especially for Letschert himself. The time of the 27-year-old in Hamburg could end the way it started: in the bedside. After moving from Sassuolo on loan last summer, the Dutch central defender suffered an outer ligament tear in his knee and had to wait until the end of September for his first assignment for the Hamburg team.

Since then, the former U21 international under Hecking has become the defense chief, and has always been in the starting XI since matchday 16. But especially after the restart, Letschert did not remain error-free.

Letschert’s stay at HSV is anything but certain

For this reason too, it is far from certain that the HSV bosses will extend the contract option to two more years. The cards are shuffled in the seasonal analysis, the outcome is open. Letschert has now been deprived of the opportunity to prove himself. It could be a sad ending.
