Confirmed available for Saturday

Lokonga (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Paderborn after recovering from a muscular issue and returning to team training, according to coach Merlin Polzin. "There's plenty of good news: Patson, Sambi and Baka have already completed a significant amount of training, some of it full training, and are therefore available for the match."

Analysis: Lokonga has recovered from the muscular problem that kept him out against Stuttgart and is now cleared for Saturday's encounter against Paderborn. The midfielder has resumed training after a brief absence, although his availability does not necessarily guarantee an immediate return to the starting lineup. Bilal Nadir, Miro Muheim and Martin Adeline have provided midfield alternatives during his absence, giving Hamburg the flexibility to ease Lokonga back into competitive action. His return nevertheless adds depth to the midfield ahead of the weekend fixture.

Back in full training

Lokonga (undisclosed) has returned to full training after managing a muscular problem earlier in the week and is available for Hamburger's upcoming match against SC Paderborn 07, according to BILD.

Analysis: Sambi Lokonga has recovered from the muscular issue that kept him out against VfB Stuttgart and has resumed full training, putting him on track to return to the squad against SC Paderborn 07 barring a setback. His availability does not guarantee an immediate starting role. The combination of Bilal Nadir, Miro Muheim and Martin Adeline performed well in the recent win, so coach Merlin Polzin could stick with the same lineup and ease Sambi Lokonga back into action from the bench.
