Handball Devotees, Brace Yourselves for a Longer Vacancy
The Handball Foxes, after their initial setback in Kiel (30:26), are facing some unpleasant news for their patrons.
Star Goalkeeper Viktor Kireev (37) is out for an extended period, disappointing fans and teammates alike. In August, Kireev suffered an injury to his right hand, necessitating ten stitches between his thumb and index finger. Sadly, history repeated itself during the half-time break against Gummersbach on October 28, leading to more stitches this time, eleven to be precise.
Regrettably, his recovery process is taking longer than anticipated. Previous recuperations period fell within two to three weeks, but it's looking like months will pass before Kireev is back in action.
Coach Jaron Siewert (29) voiced the following concerns: "He had two more stitches. Perhaps we'll see him at the end of December or in the new year."
As for Kireev, he spent a few stress-relieving days in Russia with his wife Anastasia and daughter Maria (8 months old). A much-needed, heartwarming break that undoubtedly helped his spirit soar during these challenging times. Kireev shared his thoughts, "I'm returning to Berlin and slowly recovering. It was incredibly gratifying to reunite with my loved ones. Their support surely means the world to me now."
