Overview

• The DHB-Bundesgericht ruled that the April 27 game must be replayed after officials failed to remove a seventh Dessau player during a timeout
• The Handball-Bundesliga presidency agreed the rematch must take place by June 30 before the season concludes
• Many players and staff from both teams are currently on holiday in destinations like Argentina and Indonesia, complicating the scheduling process
• HBL chief Frank Bohmann said those who went on holiday “have only themselves to blame” and reaffirmed the fixture will occur within the deadline
• The replay’s result will determine whether Dessau-Roßlauer HV retains its 2. Bundesliga place or swaps spots with ASV Hamm-Westfalen in the relegation battle
