Overview
- HSV announced that Omari suffered a lateral ligament tear with syndesmosis involvement and will miss the remainder of the Hinrunde, returning no earlier than the start of 2026.
- The defender was injured in Sunday’s 0-0 at Union Berlin, left clutching his left ankle, and was replaced late by Guilherme Ramos.
- Ramos is the leading option to face Mainz, with Daniel Elfadli, Jordan Torunarigha or Aboubaka Soumahoro also being weighed for the back three.
- Omari had started all six competitive matches since arriving on loan from Stade Rennes, impressing club leadership after an initially noted fitness shortfall.
- The DFB has upheld Fábio Vieira’s two-match suspension for his Berlin red card, and HSV will reintroduce him carefully following a knee contusion with hopes of availability after the ban against Wolfsburg on October 25.
