Sascha Stegemann will referee the northern derby between HSV and Werder Bremen on Sunday (3:30 p.m./Dazn). The DFB announced this on its website. Mathias Jöllenbeck is used as a video assistant.
Stegemann has already officiated a game involving HSV this season: the 40-year-old refereed the 0-0 draw in Mönchengladbach on matchday 1. In total, Sascha Stegemann has already served as a referee in 19 competitive HSV games.
The derby record under the management graduate from Niederkassel could be a good omen for the “Rothosen”: In the 2021/22 season, HSV under Stegemann won both at Werder Bremen (2-0) and at home against them FC St Pauli (2:1).

Bitter news for HSV before the cup game against Holstein Kiel: Robert Glatzel was injured more seriously than feared against Stuttgart. The 31-year-old, who opened the door to a home win (2-1) with a 1-0 win on Sunday, has torn a muscle fiber in his right thigh. The people of Hamburg announced this on Tuesday. Glatzel will definitely be out of the current calendar year.
After the cup duel on Wednesday, HSV will play against Werder Bremen, TSG Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt until Christmas.
