Scharner heading back to Hamburg Paul Scharner is determined to return to Hamburg at the end of the season despite enjoying a successful loan period at Wigan.
The Austrian has fared well back at the DW Stadium since joining from the Bundesliga side on loan in January but insists he wants to play his football at the Imtech Arena.
The 33-year-old joined Hamburg last year after leaving West Brom but has not been able to establish himself as a regular first-team player at the German outfit.
"There has been no real change. I am due to be back at Hamburger SV this summer," he told the Hamburger Morgenpost.

England are weak in central defence Montenegro striker Mirko Vucinic says England's makeshift centre-back pairing of Joleon Lescott and Chris Smalling is a 'source of weakness'.
Vucinic believes he will be able to exploit the central defensive problems in Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier.
Gary Cahill, Michael Dawson, and, most notably, Rio Ferdinand have all withdrawn from Roy Hodgson's squad over the past week, resulting in emergency call-ups for Lescott, Steven Taylor and Steven Caulker.

The 23-year-old was substituted midway through the 2-1 win over Scotland on Friday after aggravating an ankle injury and failing to fully overcome an illness.
Wales manager Chris Coleman had earlier insisted that Bale would not be risked for the clash with Igor Stimac's men if he were below full fitness but revealed on Monday that the Tottenham star is fit for the Group A game.
"He's trained well so I think he's in a lot better nick than he was going into the Scotland game. I think

Russian challenges differ to England Fabio Capello said managing Russia is an entirely different challenge compared to his tenure as England boss.
The Italian, speaking after his side secured a 1-1 draw with Brazil at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge on Monday, returned to England for the first time since resigning as England manager in February 2012.
"It is a very different job, it is the same in terms of managing but it is different because of two main things," Capello said.
"The Russian Premier League takes a three-month break during the winter and the language is very difficult because I always have to speak through a translator as it

Brnovic slams pitch critics Montenegro coach Branko Brnovic has warned England to expect a hostile atmosphere in their 2014 World Cup qualifier in Podgorica on Tuesday.
Some reports have suggested English players are concerned about the pitch, while Brnovic has claimed the visitors will be scared when they take to the Stadion Pod Goricom.
Brnovic hit back at critics of the surface, stating the 'excuses' were already there for Roy Hodgson's men to lose.
