Shocking moment in the German opening game: Juri Knorr held his knee after a challenge – and was substituted. Apparently he was not injured during the action.
Germany’s handball players can hope for playmaker Juri Knorr’s appearance in the World Cup preliminary round game against Switzerland. “It basically looks positive that he will be available to us tomorrow. But we don’t know 100 percent yet. We can’t give the complete all-clear yet,” said national team manager Benjamin Chatton with a view to the duel on Friday (8.30 p.m. / ZDF and Sportdeutschland .TV) in Herning.
Knorr twisted his knee in the opening game of the World Cup against Poland (35:28) without any opposition and had to leave the floor early. “We’re very hopeful that there are no structural problems. But we don’t think it’s anything serious,” Chatton said. A stress test in the afternoon should provide the final answer as to whether Knorr can play against Switzerland.
