Daniel Heuer Fernandes

ANALYSIS
Heuer Fernandes has been Hamburg's undisputed number one since 2019, so any absence naturally draws attention, but the framing from the club here is about as reassuring as it gets. There's no suggestion of a structural issue or extended layoff, just hip discomfort being managed cautiously before the first friendly of preseason, with a return to full training already targeted for Monday. Given how early this is in preparations and how routine this kind of precaution is for a player his age, there's little reason to expect it affects his standing as Hamburg's starting goalkeeper heading into the new season.
