German Handball Star Juri Knorr Cleared to Play in World Championship Quarterfinal

Knorr, who had been sidelined with health concerns, returns as Germany prepares to face undefeated Portugal in Oslo.

Juri Knorr, a key playmaker for the German handball team, has been declared fit to compete in the World Championship quarterfinal against Portugal.
Knorr had missed the last two matches due to health issues, including reported breathing difficulties and chest pain, which required medical evaluation in Germany.
After undergoing blood tests, Knorr confirmed that his condition has improved and he feels ready to rejoin the team for the upcoming match.
Germany's quarterfinal opponent, Portugal, remains undefeated in the tournament, having defeated strong teams like Spain and Sweden, making Knorr's return critical for Germany's chances.
Team manager Benjamin Chatton expressed cautious optimism about Knorr's availability but refrained from definitively confirming his role in Wednesday's game.
