Hamburger SVMauled by Mainz
Fernandes allowed five goals while making three saves during Sunday's 5-0 loss to Mainz.
Analysis: Fernandes allowed two goals in the first half and three in the second as Hamburg dropped all three points Sunday. The keeper has allowed seven goals while combining for eight saves through the opening two matches of the season. Hamburg head to Leipzig next weekend.
Concedes two
Fernandes had five saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund.
Analysis: Fernandes was dominant between the sticks and recorded five saves and also made 57 passes, but conceded twice in the first half. Next, he takes on FSV Mainz 05 next week.
Starts in goal Saturday
Heuer Fernandes (hip) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's friendly against 1. FC Heidenheim, according to the club.
Analysis: Heuer Fernandes' return to the starting XI confirms he has fully recovered from the hip issue that had sidelined him and cost him the earlier preseason friendly against SK Rapid. His involvement reinforces his status as Hamburger's undisputed number one heading into the new 2026/27 Bundesliga season.
Returns to team training
Heuer Fernandes has rejoined team training at the start of Hamburg's camp in Langenfeld, after hip problems had sidelined him and cost him the preseason friendly against SK Rapid, according to the club.
Analysis: Heuer Fernandes' return gives coach Merlin Polzin his starting goalkeeper back for the remainder of preseason preparations, including Saturday's friendly against 1. FC Heidenheim. The hip issue never appeared to be a major concern, and his prompt return to full training reinforces his status as Hamburger's undisputed number one heading into the new 2026/27 Bundesliga season.
Misses friendly with hip issue
Heuer Fernandes (hip) was not included in Hamburg SV's squad for a preseason friendly against SK Rapid due to a minor hip issue but is expected to return to full training Monday, the club announced.
Analysis: Heuer Fernandes has been Hamburg's undisputed number one since 2019, so any absence naturally draws attention, but the framing from the club here is about as reassuring as it gets. There's no suggestion of a structural issue or extended layoff, just hip discomfort being managed cautiously before the first friendly of preseason, with a return to full training already targeted for Monday. Given how early this is in preparations and how routine this kind of precaution is for a player his age, there's little reason to expect it affects his standing as Hamburg's starting goalkeeper heading into the new season.
One save in 3-2 win
Heuer Fernandes recorded one save and allowed two goals in Sunday's 3-2 win against SC Freiburg.
Analysis: Fernandes made one save but was unable to prevent Freiburg from scoring two goals. The keeper has kept six clean sheets this season, but has failed to keep one in his last 13 games. He only made one save in the game, having made 22 saves in the four games before this.
Four saves during win
Heuer Fernandes registered four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
Analysis: Fernandes stopped four of the five shots he faced during Saturday's win. The goalkeeper was excellent throughout the match and shut Frankfurt down repeatedly. He stood tall on multiple occasions, and even though he was denied the clean sheet he was arguably the player of the match.
Concedes twice in first half
Fernandes allowed two goals while making four saves during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Hoffenheim.
Analysis: Fernandes allowed two first half goals as Hamburg dropped all three points Saturday. The keeper has allowed nine goals while combining for 18 saves over his last three starts. Hamburg head to Frankfurt next weekend.
