Impact Hefti has vast experience in Europe with clubs like Hamburger, Genoa and Montpellier, even though he didn't really see action in the 2025/26 campaign. He'll try to make a bigger impact in MLS, most likely serving as a right-back and aiming to be selected over Aaron Herrera and Conner Antley at some point. The Swiss defender may be somewhat reliable for crosses and a few defensive stats if given significant time on the field.

Still out Saturday Hefti (hip) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Dortmund.

Impact Hefti has been dealing with an injury since the start of the season and remained unavailable Saturday, still waiting to make his debut. The defender had recently been trending in the right direction, but he may need more time to fully recover. His absence suggests the club is taking a cautious approach after the extended layoff.

Impact Hefti has been dealing with an injury since the start of the season that has stopped him from making his debut, but he appears to be trending in the right direction again, potentially an option for Saturday. This is solid news for the defender, but he will likely serve in a limited role, set for more of a depth spot. He will look to earn time immediately to test his legs, although they may be cautious after the long layoff.

Ruled out against Wolfsburg Hefti (hip) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Wolfsburg.

Impact Hefti will not be available for Saturday's match against Wolfsburg as he continues his recovery from a hip injury. The defender had returned to training this week but remains short of match fitness. He'll target a return to the squad in the upcoming fixtures.

Trains ahead of Mainz match Hefti (hip) trained ahead of Sunday's match against Mainz and appears to be an option, according to Abendblatt HSV.

Impact Hefti was out of the call for the past few matches due to a hip injury, but is appearing to be back in the fold this week, as the defender is training again. This is solid news for the defender, but he will likely serve as a depth option if fit, as he mainly serves off the bench when fit.

OCTOBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Hefti (hip) is out for Sunday's trip to Union Berlin, according to manager Merlin Polzin.

Impact Hefti is going to be out for at least on more match due to the hip injury he suffered before last weeks' Heidenheim clash. The defender is a depth option at best and has yet to play this season even when fit. Hefti's next chance is an Oct. 5 clash with Mainz.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up hip injury Hefti is not an option for Saturday's match against Heidenheim due to a hip injury, according to manager Merlin Polzin.

Impact Hefti just returned to action after a strain left him out to start the season, but he will hit the sidelines again, with the defender dealing with a hip injury. This isn't a major loss for the club, as he has yet to play a minute this season. However, he will look to see a return soon in the hopes of earning his first minutes of the season.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back available with HSV Hefti (strain) played the full game in Thursday's friendly against Hannover, confirming his return from injury.

Impact Hefti missed the beginning of the season due to a muscular injury but returned by playing the full game in Thursday's friendly against Hannover. This is positive news for the center-back, although he will likely need to compete with the summer additions to get a starting role in the backline for the red shorts.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Hefti (strain) was back in training Tuesday, according to Abendblatt HSV.

Impact Hefti missed the season opener but is finally on his way back from a strain, with the defender working in training. This will give him solid time to recover before Friday's contest. That said, he will likely still be questionable and need to pass a fitness test to be an option.

AUGUST 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out with strain Hefti is out for Sunday's match against Galdabch due to a strain, according to manager Merlin Polzin. "Slivan is out with a strain."

Impact Hefti will miss the season opener as he deals with an injury, left on the sidelines because of a strain. That said, the club has given little more on his status, leaving a return up in the air. He is a bit down the pecking order, so this should only be a minor loss for the club.

AUGUST 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Wins five tackles against Torino Hefti (illness) created one scoring chance, won one of two tackles and five duels and drew one foul in 45 minutes in Friday's 1-0 win over Torino.

Impact Hefti did not start in his return from an illness, but he came off the bench at halftime and picked up a small amount of stats at each end. He might be forced to split minutes with Morten Frendrup going forward. He has tallied five chances, 15 crosses, five tackles and seven clearnaces in the last five appearances. Genoa will face Verona away after the break.

MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will return against Torino Hefti sat out the previous game because of the flu and has managed to shake it off, coach Alexander Blessin informed.

Impact Hefti came down with the illness late last week and was ruled out, although the club had not disclosed the reason for his absence. He has good chances to resume starting as a right-back, replacing Morten Frendrup, who filled in well, though. He has posted four chances, 21 crosses, 25 tackles and 15 clearances in nine appearances with Genoa so far.

MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Atalanta match Hefti (undisclosed) did not make Genoa's squad list to face Atalanta Sunday.

Impact Hefti suffered a late injury that will cost him at least one game and will be better evaluated after the match. Either Paolo Ghiglione or Morten Frendrup will start as right-back in this one.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Atalanta game Hefti picked up an undisclosed injury in the final practice and is in doubt for Sunday's match versus Atalanta, Sky Italy informs.

Impact Hefti is poised to be a late call but the coaching staff might err on the side of caution considering the recency of the problem. Paolo Ghiglione and Morten Frendrup would be the main candidates to replace him at right-back.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Launches five crosses Hefti had five crosses, two interceptions, one tackle and created two chances in the 0-0 draw with Empoli on Sunday.

Impact Both sides were pushing to score a goal, and though Hefti didn't take a shot, he tried his best to give his teammates opportunities. The midfielder has been crossing more regularly lately, but he has only logged one assist so far this season. If he can keep his volume high, then there may be a possibility to increase that number against Atalanta.

MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Launches in five crosses Hefti had three shots (one on target), five crosses, two interceptions, one tackle and two fouls in the 1-1 draw with Salernitana on Sunday.

Impact Trying with all their might to score one more goal and seal a victory, the entire squad looked to players like Hefti to try and make a difference on offense. While being a consistently aggressive crosser, the midfielder only has been able to log one assist on the season, but his luck may change against Venezia.

FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lands three tackles in draw Hefti created one chance, sent two crosses (none accurate), made three tackles (two won) and intercepted once during the 0-0 draw with Udinese on Saturday.

Impact Hefti strung together another solid two-way performance in the close draw Saturday. The defender has not disappointed since his arrival from Young Boys. In three appearances, he is averaging, 0.33 shots, 1.33 crosses, 3.66 tackles and 1.0 interceptions per 90 minutes in all competitions. As long as Hefti can continue his shot output with his stellar defensive play, he will be one of the stars of Genoa.

JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to Genoa Hefti has joined Genoa on a permanent deal from Young Boys, the club announced.

Impact Hefti has posted one goal, one assist, 19 crosses and nine tackles in six Champions League matches this season. He has strong chances to unseat Paolo Ghiglione and Stefano Sabelli and become the starter on the right flank down the line.
