The injury crisis of the German club continues - on Tuesday evening in the UEFA Champions League match against "Porto", defender Raphael Wicky injured his calf muscle and will be out for about a month, which will not help the German club, who have recently been showing poor form.
The 29-year-old Swiss national team player had to leave the field in the second half of the match against Portuguese champions "Porto", which the German club lost 4-1, and joined six other injured players: Rafael van der Vaart, Guy Demel, Bastian Reinhardt, Benjamin Lauth, captain David Jarolim, Thimothee Atouba, and Vincent Kompany.
"Trouble never comes alone," lamented Hamburg head coach Thomas Doll after the match. "Somehow everything seems to be turning against us lately."
This defeat meant that there is no chance for the HSV team to advance to the next stage of the UEFA Champions League. In the German league, the team is currently in second to last place with only five points. T. Doll's players have not yet experienced the joy of victory this season.
