The DHB team is plagued by a corona wave at the European Handball Championship.

A number of players are positive, a number of players have already been nominated.

An overview.

Update from January 21, 9:39 a.m .:

That was a big surprise just before the start of the first main round game of the Germans against Spain.

The day before it was said that Christoph Steinert had tested positive for Corona.

Then suddenly the turning point: three more tests of the handball professional were negative, Steinert rushed into the hall shortly before, was ready to play.

This reduces the number of positive corona cases in the DHB squad before the game against Norway on Friday at 8.30 p.m. – which tz.de accompanies in the live ticker – to eleven.

First report:

Bratislava – The handball European Championship 2022 in Hungary and Slovakia is slowly entering the decisive phase. Meanwhile, things are going dramatically for the German national team before the first main round game against Spain on Thursday evening at 6 p.m. A corona wave flooded the DHB team, which had previously completed the preliminary round of the tournament as group winners with victories against Belarus, Poland and Austria. The DHB therefore even asked the European handball association on Wednesday evening how a possible withdrawal from the European Championship would be assessed and at the same time applied for the Spain game to be relocated. However, the latter was rejected.

Before the main round against Spain, Norway, Sweden and Russia, coach Alfred Gislason’s team had already recorded twelve positive corona test results among the players. Several nominations followed. It all started with the infection of Julius Kühn - in the meantime it has even caught an actor who was actually planned to move up.

(

Update shortly before the Spain game: Lightning comeback for Christoph Steinert - the best German tournament scorer so far is allowed to appear at the start of the main round of the German handball team against Spain on Thursday evening (6 p.m. / ARD) despite his positive corona finding on Wednesday. This said the German Handball Federation (DHB) shortly before kick-off in Bratislava: "The 32-year-old left-hander received a weakly positive result in an additional PCR test ordered by the German Handball Federation on Wednesday. All tests carried out beforehand and afterwards were negative , so that the status 'negative' was also confirmed when asked by the laboratory management, where the only positive test was evaluated," says a statement from the association.)

Another staff member is said to have tested positive. It remains to be seen whether this number of infections will remain. After all, players will continue to be tested daily. Incidentally, this also applies to the players who have arrived, who are now moving up so that the DHB team can still get a playable squad at the start. All in all, professionals have now joined the team afterwards - all from the local national handball leagues. It was particularly bitter for the subsequently nominated Hendrik Wagner, who tested positive directly and was not even allowed to play for the DHB (see list above).

The main round will show how the newly assembled and little-rehearsed squad of the Germans will fare.

The last group game against Poland showed that a mixed-up team can also perform convincingly.

There they already drove a sovereign 30:23 with a few followers.

In addition to the players listed above, the six professionals from the squad originally nominated also complete the squad.

By the way: In the meantime, the Spaniards also have two corona cases to complain about.
