Bakery Jatta sidelined for time being

Bakery Jatta sustained an injury to his left thigh during the 1-0 loss at home to Bayer Leverkusen and will be sidelined for several weeks. This was confirmed by examinations carried out at the Volkspark on Thursday morning. The 27-year-old Gambian had fought his way back into the Rothosen’s rotation towards the end of 2025 as a wing-back and had featured in ten of the last 12 Bundesliga matches. In nine of those appearances, HSV’s record 2. Bundesliga appearance holder was named in the starting line-up. He started Wednesday’s game against Leverkusen but had to be substituted in the 29th minute due to injury. Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery, “Baka”!
