Füchse's personnel situation worsens - Füchse Berlin’s injury crisis deepens after Champions League opening loss to Kolstad
Füchse Berlin suffered a setback in their champions league schedule after losing their opening match of the season to Kolstad. The defeat came as the team struggled with a severe injury crisis, leaving key players sidelined. Now, they face a tough Bundesliga clash against TSV Hannover-Burgdorf this Sunday.
The Berlin side entered the Kolstad game without seven first-team players, including Mathias Gidsel, the reigning World Handball Player of the Year. Gidsel missed the match due to a shoulder injury, further weakening the squad. Another player, Lasse Andersson, may also be unavailable, though his current fitness status remains unconfirmed ahead of the weekend.
TSV Hannover-Burgdorf, meanwhile, arrive in strong form. Their entire squad is fully fit, and recent performances have shown impressive consistency. Füchse Berlin, desperate for reinforcements, must address their injury problems before facing this in-form opponent.
Despite the setback, the Berlin club still has a chance to reach the uefa champions league quarterfinals. They need just one more victory from their final four matches in 2025 to secure progression.
The next Bundesliga fixture against Hannover-Burgdorf will test Füchse Berlin’s depleted squad. With injuries mounting and no immediate reinforcements, the team must find a way to compete. A win could also boost their confidence ahead of the remaining champions league stats fixtures.
