Hamburger SVLogs assist
Nicolas Capaldo assisted once to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Bayer Leverkusen. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 78th minute.
Analysis: Capaldo was able to create three chances on Saturday, generating an assist on one of them. He had a solid season at Hamburger but will look to add more goals to his resume after logging just one this season.
Finds starting role
Capaldo (back) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Leverkusen.
Analysis: Capaldo overcame the slight back pain that had left his availability uncertain ahead of the season finale, with the coaching staff clearing one of the first names on Hamburger's lineup to take his place despite the concerns that had emerged in the days prior. The Argentine, who has been named to his country's preliminary squad for the 2026 World Cup, has been a key figure across multiple roles this season, contributing one goal, two assists, 67 tackles, 35 interceptions and 61 clearances in 25 appearances. His ability to come through the final assessment in time is a welcome development for a side heading into the last game of what has been a crucial campaign.
Dealing with back injury
Capaldo is dealing with a back injury and is uncertain to play in Saturday's season finale against Leverkusen, according to assistant manager Loic Fave. "Capi has slight back pain. We'll have to see how it develops in the coming days."
Analysis: Capaldo, who has been named to Argentina's preliminary squad for the 2026 World Cup, is among the first names on Hamburger's lineup when healthy. Able to play either as a center-back or central midfielder, Capaldo has one goal, two assists, 67 tackles, 35 interceptions and 61 clearances in 25 appearances (23 starts) in 2025-26.
