German Handball Team Seeks Redemption Against Austria in EM Qualifier

Following a disappointing draw in Vienna, the DHB team looks to improve performance and secure a win in Hannover despite ongoing roster challenges.

Germany's national handball team aims to rebound after a 26:26 draw against Austria in the first leg of the EM qualification, where they squandered a four-goal lead late in the game.
Coach Alfred Gislason has called for significant improvements in both offense and defense, citing high error rates and missed opportunities in the previous match.
Key players, including Juri Knorr, Renars Uscins, and Jannik Kohlbacher, remain doubtful for the return match due to injuries and illness, further straining the team's lineup.
Despite the draw, Germany maintains its lead in the qualification group but missed the chance to secure an early advantage for EM 2026 qualification.
The team plans to leverage home-court advantage in Hannover to solidify their position and address lingering doubts about their performance.
