SC Magdeburg is fighting without Magnusson: top games against Nantes and Füchse!

A dramatic duel is about to begin! SC Magdeburg travels to HBC Nantes in the Handball Champions League on Wednesday. Kick-off is at 8:45 p.m. and the Elbestadters have a score to settle - they lost the first leg 28:32. But that's not the only problem plaguing the team!

Personnel concerns weigh heavily on the shoulders of Magdeburgers. Backcourt player Omar Ingi Magnusson is expected to be out for three months with a serious ankle injury. The Icelander was injured in the last game against SG Bietigheim when he twisted his ankle without any outside influence. However, Coach Wiegert remains optimistic: “We will seriously fight for points, that wouldn’t do the team justice!”
