Overview

• Bakery Jatta, a winger for Hamburger SV, has been ruled out for the rest of the season after tearing the syndesmosis ligament in his left ankle during training.
• This injury marks another setback in Jatta's challenging season, which previously included limited playtime and an earlier ankle ligament injury.
• Jatta's absence compounds Hamburger SV's injury struggles, with key players Robert Glatzel, Noah Katterbach, and Matheo Raab also sidelined long-term.
• The Gambian player's situation had improved under new coach Merlin Polzin, but his latest injury halts any potential momentum.
• Jatta, who has been with the club since 2016 and is contracted until 2029, was injured as HSV competes in the 2. Bundesliga promotion race.
