Die Saison in der Daikin Handball-Bundesliga hat noch nicht mal begonnen, da müssen diverse Klubs schon schwere Verletzungen beklagen.

Overview

  • An MRI confirmed Ravensbergen tore the ACL in his left knee during preseason training and he will undergo surgery in the coming days.
  • Club doctor Marco Kettrukat estimates a nine-month rehabilitation that rules him out of the 2025/26 Daikin Handball-Bundesliga season.
  • The 32-year-old faces his second major knee reconstruction after tearing the ACL in his right knee in early 2024, raising concerns over his long-term fitness.
  • HSG Wetzlar has launched a search for a replacement goalkeeper, but limited transfer options so close to the season start pose a significant challenge.
  • Ravensbergen said he is disappointed by the injury and pledged to do everything possible to return, while the club has vowed full support for his rehabilitation.
