World Cup failures
Media: Knorr and Dahmke are missing handball players against Italy
National coach Alfred Gislason has to do without two players in the important World Cup main round game against Italy. Marian Michalczik is subsequently added to the World Cup squad.
Germany’s handball players will have to do without playmaker Juri Knorr and left winger Rune Dahmke in the important World Cup main round game against Italy. According to reports from ARD’s “Sportschau” and “Bild”, the duo will be out of the evening’s game (6 p.m./ZDF and Sportdeutschland.TV) due to a flu-like infection. The German Handball Association did not comment on this and referred to the squad announcement two hours before the game.
Knorr had already reported a sore throat after the 30:40 defeat against defending champions Denmark and did not train on Wednesday. Franz Semper should be in the DHB squad for this final round for the first time. The backcourt player had not been used so far due to muscular problems.
Michalczik can be used on Saturday
In addition, Marian Michalczik has subsequently been added to the German World Cup squad. According to the DHB, the 27-year-old playmaker from Bundesliga club TSV Hannover-Burgdorf is scheduled to arrive at the team’s headquarters in Silkeborg in the evening. Michalczik could therefore play for the first time on Saturday in the final main round game of the Olympic silver medalist against Tunisia.
