Squad worries at Alfred Gislason: DHB team is decimated in the World Cup
So the DHB team is going into the 2023 Handball World Cup with a lot of squad worries, where Germany will meet Qatar this Friday evening (from 6 p.m.) at the start.
Handball national coach Alfred Gislason was disappointed with the cancellations.
"I understand players who have been playing in the Bundesliga for a very long time.
The season is very long, there is relatively little time for the family," said the Icelander in an interview with
SID
: "Only: There are also many, many players - especially the Scandinavians, the Swedes, Danes, Norwegians and Icelanders - the came to the Bundesliga at a young age and have been there for just as long as the German players.
And none of them say they don't want to join the national team.
Really none.
I can't remember a single Scandinavian saying he's unavailable."

German players would do that, Gislason continued: "That's why it's sometimes difficult to understand that one or the other German player isn't available.
That disappoints me.
If a player keeps dropping out, a coach has to ask himself how much he can rely on the player.
Other players have canceled because they were injured or have chronic problems, such as Hendrik Pekeler.
You have to understand that.” How is the DHB team doing without the Kiel stars?
