Overview
- Severe winter weather and flight delays turned Friday’s return from Zagreb into an overnight bus transfer from Frankfurt, with arrival in Hannover shortly before midnight.
- The federation said the switch preserved Saturday’s plan for recovery work, video analysis and a light training session in the ZAG Arena.
- Team manager Benjamin Chatton cited close coordination with travel partners and said going straight by bus was the right call after northern snow halted further flights.
- Germany defeated Croatia 32:29 in Zagreb on Thursday, and today’s rematch in Hannover is the European Championship dress rehearsal, scheduled for 18:05 with coverage on ARD and Dyn.
- The DHB reported no cause for concern regarding Golla’s brief absence, with the fixture expected to proceed as planned.
