Sebastiaan Bornauw - Status uncertain for Leipzig Bornauw was absent from Hamburg's team training Wednesday ahead of the upcoming Bundesliga clash against RB Leipzig, with the reason for his absence unclear, according to HSV24.

Impact Bornauw has been a regular part of Hamburg's defense early in the season, making his absence from Wednesday's session worth monitoring ahead of the weekend. There is currently no indication that the center-back is dealing with an injury, and further training sessions should provide more clarity on his availability. Warmed Omari's return to team training following a shoulder injury would provide Hamburg with another option at center-back if Bornauw is unavailable against Leipzig.

Impact Muheim has been working through shortened sessions for around two weeks because of an adductor issue, and this side-pitch work is the next building block after a stretch of running-only training. He still isn't cleared for full team training, leaving his availability for Hamburger SV's Bundesliga opener against Borussia Dortmund genuinely uncertain. Even if he does make the squad, a bench role looks the more realistic outcome given how long he's been out and how well Louis Lemke has filled in, producing a goal and an assist in cup play. Once back to full fitness, Muheim remains an important piece for Hamburger SV as their left wing-back, set-piece taker and a key creative presence.
