Robert Glatzel - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Will miss season finale Glatzel (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leverkusen.

Impact Glatzel has been unable to recover in time for the season finale against Leverkusen, with the tight availability flagged by assistant manager Loic Fave ultimately proving well-founded as the calf issue prevented him from being cleared despite targeting a return for the final game of the regular season. Whether he gets involved in Friday's training had been identified as the pivotal factor in determining his availability, and the outcome has not gone in his favor at the end of what has been a frustrating campaign on the injury front. He has scored three goals and provided two assists across 19 appearances this season, and the hope will be that a full pre-season allows him to build on those contributions heading into the next campaign.

Impact Glatzel has been working on his return and the club is cautiously optimistic about having him available for the final game of the campaign, which could also prove to be his last appearance in a Hamburg shirt given the uncertainty surrounding his future despite having a contract until 2027. The striker has yet to decide whether he will fulfil his deal or seek a new challenge after five years at the club, with a quick decision not expected after the season ends. Glatzel has scored three goals and provided two assists across 19 appearances including seven starts, and will be hoping to bow out on his own terms if he can recover in time for the Leverkusen fixture.
