Handball keeper Gerrie Eijlers stopped two years ago and became the goalkeeper coach of the Orange squad. Because Dennis Schellekens has tested positive for corona, Eijlers is the second keeper of Orange at the European Championship against France tonight.
Eijlers played two periods at Volendam and was also active at several German clubs. In June 2020 he decided to stop playing handball. In addition to goalkeeper coach of Orange, he is also at Volendam. “It may well be that if he has to keep goal, he will do well. On the other hand, he has not played a game for two years,” said Joost Ooms general manager of Volendam.
Negative > positive > negative > positive > negative
Florent Bourget is going through a bizarre period. The handball player from Orange and Volendam was tested positive for the European Championship and was unable to go to Hungary where the European Championship is being held. On Monday he tested negative and rejoined the Dutch team. Nevertheless, he was tested positive again by the organization in Budapest. He immediately went into isolation. A new test gave a negative result which allowed him to rejoin the Orange squad.
Bourget can therefore play against France tonight. In any case, it will be a special day for the Volendam player. He is half French. The Netherlands – Orange game starts tonight at 6 PM.
