Hamburger SVReturns to bench
Muheim (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Leverkusen.
Analysis: Muheim has been included in the squad after returning to full training for the first time following a three-game absence, with assistant manager Loic Fave's encouraging words translating into a cautious bench role rather than an immediate return to the starting lineup after just one session back. The left-back has been a near ever-present figure for Hamburg this season, starting all but one of his 28 Bundesliga appearances while tallying four assists, 41 chances created, 149 crosses and 62 tackles, and his presence among the substitutes is a welcome development ahead of a summer in which he will be hoping to secure his place in Switzerland's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His return to the starting lineup is expected to follow naturally once the ankle issue has fully settled.
Back in full training
Muheim (ankle) is back in full training and should be an option for Saturday's season finale against Leverkusen, according to assistant manager Loic Fave. "He looked good. It would be great if he could play again. It was his first training session; we'll have to see how he fares over the next few days," Fave stated.
Analysis: Muheim looks set to return from a three-game absence, and if that's the case, he could return to a starting role right away. If healthy, Muheim should be a lock to make Switzerland's squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as well. He has started in all but one of his 28 Bundesliga appearances, tallying four assists, 41 chances created, 149 crosses, 52 corners, 62 tackles, 27 interceptions and 59 clearances. He provided strong two-way value throughout the season.
Out against Freiburg
Muheim (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Freiburg.
Analysis: Muheim has been unable to earn a place in the squad despite the encouraging signs that had emerged from his training as a late call, with the initial expectation that he would miss the rest of the season ultimately proving correct as Sunday's fixture comes too soon in his recovery. His absence is a blow for Hamburg heading into the penultimate game of what has been a crucial campaign for the Red Shorts, with Bakery Jatta set to retain the starting spot in his place. His situation will be monitored closely ahead of the final fixture of the season as the club assesses whether he can play any part before the campaign draws to a close.
Trains, late call for Sunday
Muheim (ankle) is a late call for Sunday's match against Frieburg, according to manager Merlin Polzin. "For Miro, it will still be tight with regard to the squad for Sunday; today he already participated in parts of the team training."
Analysis: Muheim was thought to be out for the rest of the season, but could now return Sunday, as the defender is a late call after training. This is huge news for the club, as he is a regular starter when fit, although they may be cautious after the injury. Even if he is an option, expect him to only earn limited time.
Syndesmosis tear ends season
Muheim (ankle) has been diagnosed with a torn anterior syndesmosis in his right ankle following an injury sustained during Saturday's clash against Bremen and is set to miss the remainder of the season, according to the club.
Analysis: Muheim picked up the injury in a duel with Leonardo Bittencourt and thorough examinations confirmed the worst, ruling out one of Hamburg's most important players for the final stretch of their Bundesliga campaign. The Swiss international had been an undisputed starter this season, logging 27 starts across 28 Bundesliga appearances and contributing four assists, 41 chances created, 52 corners and 62 tackles before his season was cut short. Bakery Jatta is expected to step into his spot as Hamburg push through the final games of what has been a crucial campaign for the Red Shorts.
