Hamburg considers new captain amid Yussuf Poulsen's injury concerns

Hamburg's head coach Merlin Polzin and captain Yussuf Poulsen indicated changes may be forthcoming regarding the captaincy for the Bundesliga season. Poulsen played only 33 minutes in the team’s first pre-season game and struggled with injuries last season, starting just once in 15 appearances. His limited playing time has raised questions about his role moving forward. Polzin acknowledged the situation and reiterated Poulsen's importance to the team, while discussing the need for internal decisions before making them public.
