Top club comes knocking: Will HSV Heuer lose Fernandes?
Daniel Heuer Fernandes has been under contract with HSV since 2019. The 22-year-old is also a regular goalkeeper for the “Rothosen” in the first Bundesliga season after promotion. But in the summer they could part ways: FC Bayern Munich is said to be keen on Heuer Fernandes.
As “Sportbild” reports, the goalkeeper is on the record champions’ wish list for the coming season. The Munich team is therefore looking for a new replacement keeper should Manuel Neuer end his career. This year Fernandes fulfills the profile: experienced, proven in the Bundesliga and financially feasible.
At the same time, discussions are underway at HSV about a contract extension, but according to the report, there has been no agreement yet. The two sides differ, especially when it comes to salary. This year Fernandes’ contract ends in June. If HSV manages to stay in the league, the working paper would automatically be extended by one year.
Early end to the season for an important HSV professional
Bitter setback in the relegation battle: Miro Muheim is out for weeks. The 28-year-old suffered an injury to the anterior syndesmosis in his right ankle against Werder Bremen, HSV announced on Tuesday.
The diagnosis “probably” means an early end to the season for Muheim. So far, the Swiss has only missed two games due to a suspension. He prepared four goals in 28 Bundesliga games.
Will HSV professional Otele be banned? DFB makes decision
HSV’s appeal against Philip Otele’s ban remains unsuccessful: the attacker has to watch two games in the northern derby after being sent off. The DFB confirmed this on Tuesday. Otele was shown a red card in the 79th minute on Saturday when he accidentally hit his opponent Cameron Puertas on the ankle.
HSV will also have to do without assistant coach Loic Favé and physiotherapist Tim Roussis for the home game against Hoffenheim next Saturday. Both had received a red card against Werder and were banned from indoor play by the DFB for “unsportsmanlike conduct”.
Despite 1:3 in Bremen: HSV boss has “total trust”
After the 1:3 defeat in the northern derby at Werder Bremen, HSV is still in a relegation battle. Board member Eric Huwer still has no doubts that the newcomer will stay in the Bundesliga. “There are always setbacks, but what matters is how much mental power we have to deal with them and get back up again. In this regard, I have total trust in the group,” Huwer was quoted as saying on the HSV homepage.
