As the HSVH announced on Monday afternoon, “several players” from TSV had tested positive for the virus and were therefore not ready for action. The game must therefore be postponed. Hanover makes use of a special arrangement that the Bundesliga clubs agreed on after the European Championship. According to this, clubs that have at least six corona cases to complain about can postpone their first game after the EM break. Lower Saxony has now submitted a corresponding application to the Handball Bundesliga (HBL). The league association then informed Hamburg about the cancellation of the game.
When the duel between the table neighbors – the TSV is in eleventh place behind the Hanseatic League – is not yet certain.
