Handball Star Juri Knorr to Miss Key EM Qualifiers Due to Thumb Injury

The German national team will face Switzerland and Turkey without their playmaker, who is sidelined for several weeks after a thumb fracture.

Juri Knorr, a pivotal player for Germany, suffered a thumb fracture in early October during a match against HSV Hamburg.
His club, Rhein-Neckar Löwen, confirmed that Knorr will be unavailable for several weeks, impacting both club and national commitments.
The German national team will play their first matches since winning a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, facing Switzerland on November 7 and Turkey on November 10.
Knorr's absence is a significant blow as these matches are crucial EM qualifiers for the German handball team.
The team, led by coach Alfred Gislason, will need to adjust strategies to compensate for Knorr's absence in these important games.
