The Rhein-Neckar Löwen who is injured in the groin will definitely not make the trip to Bratislava on Wednesday. “We assume that we won’t be able to fall back on him in the preliminary round,” said assistant coach Erik Wudtke.
The failure of the 26-year-old is a considerable weakening for the offensive. Johannes Golla and Patrick Wiencek are the two remaining runners in the line-up.
Weber’s shoulder pain is much better
In the case of backcourt player Philipp Weber, however, there is the all-clear. The playmaker of Bundesliga leaders SC Magdeburg is on the mend after his shoulder injury in the international match against France and is due to complete the full team training on Tuesday. “After the game he was in a lot of pain. Now he’s much better “, reported Wudtke.
