Overview
- HSV is renewing two training pitches by the South Stand, with Platz 5 relaid with natural roll turf targeted for use before the Augsburg match.
- Platz 6 is planned as a hybrid surface that blends natural grass with synthetic fibers, with training use expected around mid‑April.
- Public access to training is temporarily moved to the opposite side via Max‑Schmeling‑Straße, and the route is not barrier‑free.
- Coach Merlin Polzin says Nicolás Capaldo is training on his own to be ready for Augsburg after four games out with an abdominal muscle issue.
- The club will convert Platz 4 to a hybrid pitch in June to set up better training conditions for the 2026/27 season.
