Injured for a long time: offensive player leaves HSV
HSV has announced another departure: offensive player Bilal Yalcinkaya is moving to SC Verl. The 2023 U17 world champion was already said goodbye after the regional league team’s last game, and his new club is now official.
Yalcinkaya has a “special talent” and has “continuously developed,” said HSV sports director Claus Costa. The 20-year-old was close to the professional squad, but was slowed down by an injury. In 2025/26, Yalcinkaya missed more than 200 days with a broken foot. For the professionals, the home-grown “Rothosen” were only used in test matches.
Now the talent wants to make a new start with the ambitious third division team from East Westphalia. They are already looking forward to the new signing: “His potential is immense and we would like to bring that out in the coming season,” said Verl’s sports director Zlatko Janjic.
Mysterious video emerged: What is HSV announcing here?
HSV fans are puzzling over a video that the club shared on its social media channels on Thursday morning. It shows a person wearing an HSV jacket and HSV scarf walking along the harbor. So what is HSV announcing with the video?
Some fans believe in the new home jersey. Others claim to have recognized Luka Vuskovic’s shoes from his introduction video from last summer and are therefore hoping that the defender will stay. Instead, some fans suspect that a new scarf related to the Elbe will soon be available to buy.
The HSV is still keeping a low profile with information about the resolution – the description of the video only consists of an hourglass emoji.
