Luka Vuskovic Shines in Home Match Against Heidenheim

In the match played at home against Heidenheim, Luka Vuskovic made headlines for multiple reasons. Fortunately, one of his initial concerns did not materialize.

A Moment to Remember

By scoring the opening goal that brought the score to 1-0, Luka Vuskovic created a moment of celebration at Volkspark comparable to the excitement felt during the 6-1 promotion match against Ulm. This goal marked Hamburg’s first in the Bundesliga in over seven years and set the stage for the team’s first victory of the season.

A Frustrating Incident

Post-match, the young defender revealed an unexpected turn of events: out of frustration at missing a scoring opportunity when the game was still goalless, he struck the opponent’s post. “I think I might have fractured a finger. It’s a previous injury; I had broken my finger just a few months back. But in my anger over missing such a clear chance, I hit the post with my hand,” Vuskovic explained in the mixed zone.

Staying Positive

Despite the incident, Vuskovic maintained a positive demeanor, assuring everyone, “It will heal, don’t worry.”

Good News from the Club

Fortunately, the situation appears to be less severe than initially feared. On Tuesday afternoon, HSV announced through their official channels that the 18-year-old only suffered “a severe bruise.”

The club shared an image of Vuskovic smiling as he walked through the training grounds, with his bandaged hand raised in front of the camera. “A proper thumbs up is off the table for now,” HSV remarked, adding a playful wink. Consequently, there are no obstacles hindering his participation in the upcoming match against 1. FC Union Berlin on September 28 at 7:30 PM.
