Overview

  • Matthias Musche suffered a right Achilles tendon rupture in late April during the Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Veszprem HC and will be sidelined until spring 2026.
  • Sebastian Barthold, 33, has signed from Danish powerhouse Aalborg Handbold on a one-season deal for the upcoming campaign.
  • The Norwegian international arrives with over 360 club appearances and 104 caps for his national team.
  • Barthold is set to partner with club captain Lukas Mertens on the left wing to maintain stability on the outside.
  • Musche had been SC Magdeburg’s leading scorer, and Barthold’s proven track record is intended to sustain the club’s offensive output.
