The captain of the German team, David Jarolimas, joined his team mates who will not be able to help the team in the Champions League match against the Portuguese team "Porto" on Tuesday. The footballer has suffered a shoulder injury.
The Czech defender D. Jarolimas got injured in the match against "Schalke" club on Saturday. Doctors say that the footballer will not be able to play for at least three weeks.
In the German team, we will also not see defenders Rafael van der Vaart, who has not yet recovered from the injury at the end of August, and Bastian Reinhardt, who is not playing due to a torn calf muscle, as well as injured defenders Thimothee Atouba, Vicente Kompany and Guy Demel.
The latter recently underwent surgery, so the footballer will not be able to play for about three months. Substitute striker Benjamin Lauth is also suspended.
"Hamburg" lost the first two Champions League matches - in the first match they were defeated 2-1 by "Arsenal", and on September 26th they had to acknowledge the superiority of Russia's champions Moscow "CSKA" in an away match. Meanwhile, having not won a single victory in 7 matches in the Bundesliga and collecting just 5 points, Hamburg's footballers occupy the penultimate 17th place.
