Hamburg coach Markus Gisdol has backed Bobby Wood to find the back of the net again, and praised the United States international's attitude in training.
Wood has struggled for goals in 2017. The 24-year-old found the back of the net for Hamburg just twice this season, and a total of five times in 26 competitive appearances for Hamburg this calendar year. Three of those strikes came in the DFB Pokal, and only two in Bundesliga.
Amid the attacker's goal-scoring crisis, Hamburg have been in a full-blown crisis mode for major parts of the season. They have scored only 27 goals in 26 Bundesliga matches this calendar year, and ahead of their trip to Hertha Berlin at the weekend have fallen to 16th in the Bundesliga standings with their last win dating back to Aug.
