Personnel worries! Knorr and Semper threaten to fall out at the World Cup handball
Flensburg, Deutschland - The German national handball team is faced with considerable personnel worries before the crucial knockout round of the World Cup. On the game -free Friday, playmaker Juri Knorr in Flensburg was examined by a specialist after suffering from fever, chest pain and breast problems that are due to previous bronchitis. The goalkeeper David Späth regretted the possible lack of Knorr's, whom he described as the world -class player. However, the player returned to the team during the day, such as Sportschau.de reported.
In addition, as part of the main round game against Italy (34:27), Franz Semper suffered a new injury that makes his further participation impossible at the tournament. Semper had previously missed the tournament due to muscular problems and made his debut against Italy, where he scored three goals. The national coach Alfred Gislason is forced to follow Marian Michalczik from TSV Hannover-Burgdorf in order to close the gap caused by the failure of Semper. The fact is that the last main round game against Tunisia on Saturday is insignificant for the team, since Germany already has second place in group I and will make its way to Oslo for the quarter -finals on Sunday.preparations for the quarter -finals
The German national team celebrated its move into the quarter -finals the evening before with a dinner together in Silkeborg. Goalkeeper Andreas Wolff emphasized that the team was very hungry for the first World Cup medal in 18 years, and circular runner Justus Fischer reported a convivial evening, even if he had eaten a little too much. However, Gislason plans to treat some regular players breaks in the last main round game against Tunisia, but emphasizes that the game is taken seriously. The circumstances around the team raise questions about how the failures can be compensated. National team manager Benjamin Chatton found that there was no immediate time pressure for nominations, and the decision about other players will also be made with a view to the quarter-finals next Wednesday.
While Knorr's comeback remains uncertain due to his flu disease, Rune Dahmke will also be canceled for the last main round against Tunisia. Gislason has already ruled out that Knorr and Dahmke can return for the coming game. All eyes are now aimed at the quarter -finals, whereby Portugal will probably be the opponent.
