Mitrovic can soon go back to the pitch-shock in Saudi Arabia!

The anticipation for the handball game between the Austrian national team and Germany on March 13th in Vienna could hardly be greater. An exciting duel that takes place as part of the European Championship qualification is moving closer, at the same time as the upcoming farewell to team boss Ales Pajovic. As Kurier.at , Pajovic will take up his new challenge in Flensburg after the upcoming games in Flensburg, which caused mixed feelings. Team captain Sebastian Frimmel and the young Star Jakob Nigg commented on Pajovic's announcement in the TV studio. "It was surprising that he left us," said Frimmel, who also referred to the success of Pajovic.

But the team is not only confronted with changes at the top. Serbia's team has to cope with several failures in the upcoming game against Austria. As vienna.at , team captain Aleksa Terzic will be missing due to a yellow lock, as well as his colleagues Strahinja Pavlovic, Nikola Milenkovic and Andrija Zivkovic. It was also known that another prominent player, Aleksandar Mitrovic, is not in the squad. After a hospital stay in Riad due to discomfort, he was not considered for the game. His comeback after a thigh injury only fell in early March, but the lack of fitness seems to throw him out of the contingent again.

The challenge for the teams

The absence of key players will significantly influence the strategy in the game, both for the Austrian and for the Serbian team. Pajovic created a positive atmosphere for the Austrian players during his tenure, which could be crucial for future successes. With the upcoming game on March 20 at 6:00 p.m. in Belgrade, the decision on the promotion to League A of the Nations League in 2026 could be made. Austria's national team not only meets a direct rival, but also on the challenge of asserting themselves without their strongest players. The pressure is on both sides while the players prepare for a hot fight.
