Impact Poulsen was forced off after approximately 20 minutes during Sunday's friendly against Copenhagen after experiencing discomfort in his right thigh following a sprint. However, his omission from coach Polzin's latest injury report suggests the issue was not serious enough to keep him sidelined for Saturday's contest. The forward should therefore be an option for selection, and should even start the contest with the recent injury of Patson Daka.

Exits friendly with thigh issue Poulsen was forced off after around 20 minutes of Sunday's friendly against Copenhagen after appearing to suffer a right thigh injury.

Impact Poulsen felt discomfort in his right thigh following a sprint and required treatment before being replaced by Otto Stange. The nature and severity of the issue remain unclear, leaving his availability following the international break uncertain. Any absence would further reduce Hamburg's attacking options, with Albert Gronbaek and Patson Daka already sidelined.

Impact Poulsen's return to full training is an encouraging development after more than a month on the sidelines with muscle issues.

Trains with teammates Puolsen (thigh) has joined team training, according to Lukas Dombrowski of Bild.de.

Impact Poulsen has not played in over a month due to some muscle issues, but is finally starting to see some further progress in his return, joining team training after training individually two weeks ago. This leaves him as a late call heading into their upcoming match against Frankfurt on Saturday. His return would likely only give them more depth, although he is a solid veteran presence to have around the club.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Training individually Poulsen (thigh) has been involved in partial practice after returning to field work in his rehabilitation from a moderate injury, the team reported Tuesday.

Impact Poulsen is getting closer to fully overcoming a muscular problem that has prevented him from playing in the last four league game weeks. He has seen a limited role throughout the season and might bounce back only for a few minutes of play in the final fixtures, but he'll add a talented option in the rotation with Robert Nesta Glatzel and Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Should return before season end Poulsen (thigh) is around a week or two away from running again, but is expected to be an option by the end of the season, according to Hamburger Morgenpost.

Impact Poulsen has been out the past month as he continues his rough run of injuries this season, still not training but planning to start running again in around a week. This is good news for the club as they may now have two forwards returning to end the season, as Alexander Rossing-Lelesiit (ankle) is on a similar path, although both returns remain up in the air. Even once Poulsen is fit again, he is likely to serve a minor role, with one goal in 12 appearances (one start) this season.

Suffers new injury in training Poulsen (thigh) suffered a new injury in training Wednesday and is ruled out for the time being, according to BILD.

Impact Poulsen just can't catch a break this season, as the forward picked up another thigh injury during Wednesday's training session and is headed back to the sidelines. He has appeared in only 12 Bundesliga matches this campaign with just one start and a single goal, with injuries constantly disrupting his rhythm. Poulsen has mostly been a depth option off the bench, so his latest setback shouldn't have any real impact on the starting XI.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Poulsen is available as an option off the bench for Saturday's showdown against Union Berlin after fully recovering from the ankle injury that had sidelined him since mid-December and returning to full team training Tuesday.
