Lasogga, Papadopoulos and Mathenia did not travel to Munich. But the positive new for Hamburg’s coach, Markus Gisdol is the complete rehabilitation of the central defender, Mergim Mavraj and the team leader, Sakai. The Albanian footballer suffered from flu virus a few days ago but is now expected to be a starter player in “Allianz-Arena”. His presence will give a higher reliability to the defense sector and the goalkeeper, Rene Adler. 

Mavraj and Sakai joined their team-mates in last Friday training session. The Greek defender Papadopoulos will be replaced by Johan Djourou, while the bomber Bobby Wood will become part of the attack sector.
