European qualifiers and teammates face off: HSV players on international duty

Eight HSV players are in action for their respective nations this week. Some of them are fighting for qualification for the European Championships, whilst two of our players will even be battling it out against each other.

HSV’s head coach Tim Walter will be taking the team’s first training session of the week on Tuesday afternoon following two days off. There will be fewer players participating in training than usual since there are eight players away on international duty as well as multiple others still absent due to injury (Sebastian Schonlau, Gui Ramos, Ignace van der Brempt, Ludovit Reis, Anssi Suhonen).
