Leipzig – Managing Director Karsten Gunther from SC DHfK Leipzig is expecting a season break in the handball Bundesliga.
«The current situation mostly indicates that the season cannot continue. With the best will in the world, I cannot imagine that we may go back to the halls on May 16, ”said Gunther at“ Sport im Osten ”. The league is currently suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic until mid-May.
The managing director of Saxony referred to the difficult training conditions. “If we are to prepare ourselves seriously and send the best handball players in the world to the field, then we also have to give them three or four weeks’ lead time to prepare the teams for these strains again,” said Gunther.
Due to official regulations, the DHfK handball players are currently only allowed to train in small groups in the weight room. Gunther, however, recommended that the players do the exercises at home and alone if possible. “We are fully behind the measures taken and want our boys to set a good example,” said the 38-year-old.
