Overview
- HSV has set a public team training for 15 September that will be Vuskovic’s first session with the squad after almost four years away from club training.
- The club has not yet confirmed the venue and is considering moving the session into the Volksparkstadion and opening the Nordtribüne if fan interest and operations permit.
- Vuskovic remains on track to be eligible for competitive matches from mid-November once his four-year ban ends and the September session will offer the first team-based check of his condition.
- He has prepared privately with a fitness coach during the suspension but has not trained with teammates since November 2022, so the club will use the session to assess his readiness.
- Luka Vuskovic will be absent because of Brighton’s League Cup tie on 16 September and the club’s planning for a public event raises practical questions about crowd control, ticketing and the tone of the player’s reintegration.
