Hamburger SVWill miss season finale
Glatzel (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leverkusen.
Analysis: Glatzel has been unable to recover in time for the season finale against Leverkusen, with the tight availability flagged by assistant manager Loic Fave ultimately proving well-founded as the calf issue prevented him from being cleared despite targeting a return for the final game of the regular season. Whether he gets involved in Friday's training had been identified as the pivotal factor in determining his availability, and the outcome has not gone in his favor at the end of what has been a frustrating campaign on the injury front. He has scored three goals and provided two assists across 19 appearances this season, and the hope will be that a full pre-season allows him to build on those contributions heading into the next campaign.
Out with calf injury
Glatzel is out for Sunday's match against Freiburg due to a calf injury, according to manager Merlin Polzin. "Bobby has been struggling with a calf strain in the past few days, so we're not taking any further risks. He won't be available either."
Analysis: Glatzel is going to hit the sidelines for at least a week and possibly the end of the season, as he suffered a calf strain with only two matches to play. This is unfortunate for the forward, as he started in his past three appearances, leaving Damion Downs or Rayan Philippe to start at forward. He will now look to return for the season finale, recording three goals and two assists in 19 appearances (seven starts) this season.
Converts penalty in loss
Glatzel scored a goal with his lone shot during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Hoffenheim.
Analysis: Glatzel converted a penalty in the 34th minute scoring Hamburg's lone goal of the match. The forward has a goal in two straight fixtures while combining for four shots and a chance created over his last three appearances.
