Falke had previously flown in to replace Jeffrey Boomhouwer in particular, who already tested positive a week ago and is still quarantined in his hotel room. The internationals Iso Sluijters, Dennis Schellekens, Bart Ravensbergen, Rutger ten Velde, Kay Smits, Jasper Adams and Samir Benghanem are still in isolation because of their contamination, as is national coach Erlingur Richardsson.
Due to the many infections, the Orange has barely been able to play at full strength during the European Championship, which is held in Hungary and Slovakia. Despite this, thanks to victories over Hungary and Portugal, the team managed to make it to the main round for the first time. In it, the handball players lost no chance against Olympic champion France and world champion Denmark, but they did win against Montenegro. The last game against Croatia will follow on Wednesday.
