DHB team nominates Wagner - bold in quarantine

Handball National Trainer Alfred Gílson responded to the coronary failure of Forager Julius Kuhn and nominated Hendrik Wagner. The back room player from the second division Owls Ludwigshafen arrived on Sunday the trip to Bratislava and is immediately entitled to play. Wagner belonged to the 35-member Em-squad, which Gílson had named for the tournament in Slovakia and Hungary at the beginning of December.

His commitment for today is not planned at all, said DUB sports director Axel Kramer with a view to the game on Sunday evening (18.00 pm in the Live ticker) against Austria: He will come to the team to expand. In the course of the preliminary round, which the DUB team concludes on Tuesday (18.00 clock in the Livestock) with the game against Poland, the German team can post two more players, as the squad in Bratislava including Wagner currently comprises 18 players.

For Kuhn, who had been positively tested on Saturday on the coronavirus, meanwhile, the move was arranged in a quarantine hotel. I hope that I can return to the team as soon as possible and continue the tournament, said the 28-year-old backspace player of Mt Messenger.

Kuhn's positive test is not synonymous with the EM-out. The European Handball Federation (EHF) shortened before the EM the mandatory quarantine positively tested players from 14 to 5 days when two negative PCR tests can be presented. Kuhn may thus hope for a return to the main round for a sporting qualification.

For today's game against Austria, I wish the team a lot of success, Kuhn said. His place in the 16-squad for the game against Austria, the right outside Lukas did not take into account against Belarus (33:29).
