Titled: Wiegert's Concerns Over SC Magdeburg's Decimated Lineup
Another Injury Woe for Magdeburg
Handball enthusiasts in Magdeburg and across Saxony-Anhalt, including Dyn Handball fans, had a collective sigh when they heard about yet another setback for their favorite team. During SC Magdeburg's 32:25 Champions League triumph over GOG (Denmark), backcourt ace Michael Damgaard (33) succumbed to injury in the 44th minute. The family man lay in agony before leaving the court with assistance.
What does Wiegert foretell? Wiegert said, "My gut feeling is that the injury he had from the national team, which made it tough for us to use him in Saudi Arabia, has flared up again. It's not something serious; just a muscle injury. But there's a chance he'll miss one, two, or three weeks, but that's purely conjecture."
Further hampering Magdeburg's push for triumph, the team also faced the absence of Philipp Weber (31), who injured his knee at the Club World Cup, and will likely miss another four to six weeks.
SC Magdeburg's Misfortune Continues
To add salt to the wound, Tim Hornke (33) and Piotr Chrapkowski (35) were sidelined during the GOG clash due to illness. Head coach Wiegert won't disclose any more details about their condition due to contractual restrictions.
When asked if Hornke and Chrapkowski may play in the upcoming match against Balingen, Wiegert responded, "I don't think so."
Damgaard's Status and Wiegert's Predicament
Wiegert anticipates little chance that Damgaard will be able to join the team trip to Balingen. An examination set for Saturday – the day SC Magdeburg heads to Swabia – will offer more clarity.
With the SC Magdeburg sick camp seemingly expanding, fans and enthusiasts eagerly await the official analysis of Damgaard and Weber's injuries.
