Handball Bundesliga team THW Kiel has to do without the backcourt players Sander Sagosen and Steffen Weinhold for the time being.
As the record champions announced before the Champions League game against Pick Szeged on Wednesday, “both cannot be used after a breakthrough in vaccination”.
Both players have tested positive for the corona virus and are in quarantine.
Kiel - The games against the Hungarian champions and the top game in the Bundesliga on Sunday against table leaders SC Magdeburg should be played as planned.
“That comes at an inopportune time,” said THW managing director Viktor Szilagyi on Tuesday when asked: “This is a week that we were really looking forward to.” The 43-year-old Austrian does not expect further breakthroughs in the team.

THW Kiel draws in the top game against Füchse
Handball record champions THW Kiel missed the top of the Bundesliga table.
The North Germans separated from the Füchsen Berlin on Sunday with 28:28 (14:14) and thus remain second in front of the capital city.
Both teams are still undefeated this season.
"That was very, very exhausting," said Füchse coach Jaron Siewert about the intense game.

Backcourt left-hander Steffen Weinhold had already missed the premier class game against HC Zagreb (36:28) last week and, like Norwegian Sander Sagosen, was not there in the 21:21 against cup winner TBV Lemgo.
How long the two key players will be absent has not yet been determined.
"The downtime is difficult to estimate," said Szilagyi.
