The German handball players have to record another failure shortly before the World Cup endurance test against Sweden.
Backcourt player Lukas Stutzke from Bundesliga club Bergischer HC suffered a slight thigh injury and will miss the game against the European champions on Thursday (from 7 p.m. in the LIVE ticker) and the game in Spain on Saturday (8:15 p.m./sportschau.de). .
National coach Alfred Gislason nominated Simon Ernst from DHfK Leipzig, but the 2016 European champion will not join the team until Friday.
Stutzke is the third failure during the current international match measure. Circle runner Jannik Kohlbacher (Rhein-Neckar Löwen) had canceled his cancellation due to illness, left-hander Fabian Wiede (Füchse Berlin) twisted his ankle in training on Monday and had to leave.
