Germany’s handball players have to create the European Championship sensation against Denmark without Kai Häfner.
The 34-year-old will miss the semi-final against the Scandinavian title favorites this Friday (8.30 p.m./ZDF and Dyn) for personal reasons, as the German Handball Association announced around 90 minutes before kick-off. The backcourt player had already left the team hotel. The DHB did not provide any details.
Häfner had already missed the preliminary round game of the DHB selection in Berlin against North Macedonia because he had recently become a father for the second time.
Timo Kastening is also missing. The right winger stayed in the team hotel because of a slight infection. The national player had already missed the main round duel with Hungary due to injury, but then returned to the German squad.
