Hamburg (dpa / lno) - Rick van Drongelen returns to the squad of the second division football club Hamburger SV in time for the city derby.
"Rick is fit and will now have the opportunity to recommend himself for missions," said HSV coach Daniel Thioune before the 105th derby at FC St. Pauli on Monday (8.30pm / Sky) in the Millerntor Stadium.
However, it is unlikely that the 22-year-old Dutchman will come into action immediately after his cruciate ligament rupture has healed.
Especially since Stephan Ambrosius has served his yellow card suspension and should return to the starting lineup.
Since Toni Leistner is still injured, Ambrosius' next man is wanted in central defense.
The 46-year-old coach did not want to commit to this point.
The tendency is that Gideon Jung is used again as a man marketer.
"But that is not yet certain," emphasized Thioune.
Alternatively, Moritz Heyer could also take this position, whom he also needs in defensive midfield after the loss of Amadou Onana (suspension after the 5th yellow card).
"In any case, the eleven guys who start on Monday evening have my full confidence," said the HSV coach.
