Hamburg have been boosted by news that midfielder Gideon Jung is back to full fitness.
Jung suffered a cartilage damage in his knee in July and was ruled out of action for six months.
However, the 24-year-old European U21 champion with Germany has completed several sessions with side at their training camp.
He is now fully fit to return to action for Hamburg.
"The first training of the year is always something special," he said.
"I'm glad that I can attack again and prove myself again."
Jung was born in the German city of Dusseldorf to Ghanaian parents and he insists he has an affinity to the country of his parents.
He can still switch nationality to play for Ghana as he has not played for the senior side of Germany.
According to FIFA laws on player eligibility, only a competitive game at senior level can prevent a player from switching international allegiance.
This means even if Jung plays for the Germany U21 side in their matches he can still switch allegiances to play for Ghana so long as he has not played for the senior national team of Germany.
