Hamburger SV have confirmed that Norwegian winger Alexander Rosin-Lelesit has a grim injury forecast. The 19-year-old had to be substituted early in Stadtby’s game against St. Pauli on Friday night. Rosin-Lelessit’s Bundesliga club announced on Sunday that a syndesmotic rupture could rule the teenage talent out for the remainder of the season.
Will Hamburg seek a solution in the transfer market?
HSV management seemed to have no choice. Rosin-Lelessit’s left-wing teammate Jean-Luc Doppe has also been hampered by injuries, while left-wing attacker Fabio Balde has struggled in the Bundesliga.

Overall, HSV attacks have been struggling since the beginning of 2026. Merlin Bolzin’s side are still waiting for their first win of the year after scoring just one goal in three league games.
The signing of German-American forward Damian Towns has so far yielded no results. Striker Robert Glatzel is also rumored to be considering leaving the club. HSV management – dealing with its own management chaos – must take action.
Hamburg prepares to target new attackers
“This is a problem we need to become more dangerous about [in attack],“HSV head coach Merlin Polzin admitted at Friday’s post-match press conference.”We work closely with the scouting department, [sporting director] Klaus Costa and [emergency personnel boss] Dr. Eric Huell. We are very connected. We will find good solutions for HSV so that we can achieve our goals at the end of the season“.
