Fabio Balde - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Trains individually, transfer looming Balde (knee) has started to train individually as he looks likely to leave the club, according to Simon Braasch of Hamburg Morning Post.

Impact Balde is still recovering from multiple issues as the start of the season approaches, with a knee issue being the most prominent. However, he is starting to train individually again, bringing some hope that a return to play is nearing. The major question is whether he will be starting the season with Hamburger, as it appears the club is ready to let him go, and clubs around Europe are interested in signing him.

Dealing with multiple issues Balde has been limited in training and is not fully fit as he deals with an infection and knee complaints, according to Tim Meinke of Mope.de.

Impact Balde had to miss a friendly against Everton as he dealt with some issues and continues to be on the side of the main group in training. That said, he is dealing with a previous infection and a knee injury that has started to slow down, although he still only trains individually with tape on his knee. With another friendly in two weeks against Toulouse, he will hope to see the field and clear himself of injuries ahead of the new season.

Misses friendly with blister Balde is also missing Hamburg's first pre-season test match against SK Rapid, with the club saying a blister on his foot is keeping the 20-year-old out of the matchday squad.

Impact Balde remains one of Hamburg's younger squad options rather than an established starter, appearing mostly as a substitute last season and starting only a handful of games. His absence from the opening test against Rapid, attributed simply to a foot blister, is a non-issue in terms of severity, but preseason minutes matter more for a player in his position, trying to convert flashes of promise into a bigger role, than for an established regular. Expect him back involved quickly once the blister clears up.

Scores as a sub in 3-2 win Balde scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-2 victory against SC Freiburg.

Impact Balde scored Hamburg's third goal as they went 3-1 ahead and would eventually win 3-2. The attacker has only started three times this season, but this was his 15th appearance. It was also his first goal of the season, coming from his only shot in the game. This was just the fourth time this season that he has put a shot on target.

Back available Friday Balde (thigh) is back available for Friday's clash against Mainz, coach Merlin Polzin said in the press conference. "All other players are available."

Impact Balde is back available for Friday's match against Mainz after missing the last three matches due to a thigh injury and returning to full training Monday. He had been operating in a bench role prior to the setback and is expected to resume that role.

Trains in full Monday Balde (thigh) was spotted training in full Monday, according to Mopo.

Impact Balde was a late decision ahead of Saturday's showdown with Union Berlin but ultimately couldn't get over the line as the match came too soon for him. The forward was back in full team training Monday and is now trending toward a stronger push to return in Friday's clash against Mainz. He has mostly worked in a reserve role since the start of the campaign and that pecking order is not expected to shift for the red shorts going forward.

Remains out Saturday Balde (thigh) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Union Berlin.

Impact Balde remains out for Saturday's match against Union Berlin due to the thigh injury that has sidelined him for the last two matches.

Late call Saturday Balde (thigh) is uncertain for Saturday's match against Union Berlin after only training individually this week, assistant coach Loic Fave said in the press conference. "Balde's av...

Impact Balde is uncertain for Saturday's match against Union Berlin due to a thigh injury that has sidelined him for the last two matches. He trained individually throughout the week and will undergo a late fitness test to assess his condition. The forward had been operating in a bench role prior to the injury, so his potential return is not expected to impact the usual starting XI.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Still in rehabiliation process Balde (thigh) is still in his rehabilitation process of an injury and training individually, the club announced.

Impact Balde will not be in the mix for now for the red shorts as he remains sidelined with a thigh injury and is still working through individual training sessions. The forward has mostly been a depth piece off the bench this season, so his absence does not shake up the projected starting XI.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Balde trained individually this week and is not available for Saturday's match against Heidenheim, said coach Merlin Polzin in the press conference. "Balde has trained individually...

Impact Balde trained individually this week but is ruled out for Saturday's match against Heidenheim. The forward has operated in a substitute role, having started just two of his 11 appearances this season, so his absence is not expected to have a major impact.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Not training fully Balde is a late call for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich due to an undisclosed injury, according to manager Merlin Polzin. "Damion, Fabio, and Bobby couldn't fully commit th...

Impact Balde will need to pass some testing to make the team sheet Saturday, with the forward having an injury after not training fully this week. Luckily for the club, he only appeared off the bench last match, so his absence would be a minor loss. However, he already missed two of their past three games through injury, so he will hope this is not a constant issue.

Overcomes illness, makes bench Balde (illness) is on the bench for Friday's game against St. Pauli.

Impact Balde was dealing with an illness, but he's been deemed fit to play this weekend. He returns from a two-game absence, but since he's been a bench option most of the time, Balde's return shouldn't have a big impact from a fantasy perspective.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Appears to be option Balde (illness) appears to be an option for the club again, according to Merlin Polzin. "Otherwise, all other players are ready to play for the match on Friday."

Impact Balde has been out for the past two games with an illness, but looks to be set for a return amongst numerous other teammates. This is solid news for the club, as they could gain back some more depth in the attack. Although he did start in two games before his injury, with two starts in 10 appearances this season.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Out to face Gladbach Balde (illness) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Gladbach.

Impact Balde is ruled out of Saturday's match against Gladbach after failing to recover in time from illness. Although he was close to making the team sheet, he does not pass late checks and is not included in the squad. The forward remains limited to two starts this season as he continues his recovery.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Hopeful for Tuesday Balde (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's match against Leverkusen, according to manager Merlin Polzin. "Otherwise, several players are returning after being sidelined by illne...

Impact Balde is looking to be on the verge of making the team sheet Tuesday, as he is one of a few players trying to recover from an illness. That said, the forward will likely need to pass some late testing, likely for a bench spot if fit after only two starts all season.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up illness Balde is out for Saturday's match against Freiburg due to an illness, according to manager Merlin Polzin.

Impact Balde is hitting the sidelines for at least a match, as the forward picked up an illness that appears to be going around the club. This could also leave him out for Tuesday's match against Leverkusen, something to watch for an injured attacking department. He started in their last two games, so this is a rough loss, with Fabio Vieira potentially making his way back into the starting XI in his place.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Assists late winner Sunday Balde assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Balde recorded his first top flight goal contribution Sunday and it came during a massive moment. He set up Fabio Vieira's match-winning goal in the 94th minute, a strike which took the late 2-1 lead. It was the only chance he created in the match, which also happened to be his first chance created of the season. He also recorded one inaccurate cross in his 22 minutes off the bench.
