Having struggled with persistent injury problems since joining Hamburger SV in the summer of 2025, Yussuf Poulsen has suffered another setback.

The Bundesliga club confirmed on Saturday that the Danish forward sustained a calf injury during training on Thursday.

Poulsen will consequently be unavailable for the time being, with HSV describing the injury as a “minor setback”.

The 32-year-old has featured in seven of Hamburger SV's nine Bundesliga matches so far this season, scoring twice.

Last season, he managed just one goal in 15 appearances.
