Ghanaian teen sensation Gideon Jung is available for Hamburg’s home game against Borussia Dortmund in the German top-flight on Friday.

The 21-year-old is fully fit after recovering from muscular problems and could play against the German powerhouse at the Volksparkstadion.

The promising youngster started the German Bundesliga radiantly after he excelled against champions Bayern Munich in their opening league defeat.

The Ghanaian never looked back as he continued to churn out impressive displays in subsequent games until he was knocked down by muscular problems.

But the former Rot-Weiß Oberhausen youngster returned to the pitch to play a cameo role for Hamburg in their 1-1 stalemate at Darmstadt 98 on November 7.

There are doubts surrounding the availability of duo Gojko Kacar and Marcelo Diaz but Hamburg director Peter Knäbel is confident the highly-rated defensive midfielder will fit the bill.

"Gideon is a good alternative. I trust him on that. At the beginning of the season, he did extremely well even in difficult matches.” he said

Hamburg are 11th on the German Bundesliga table after 12 games.
