Winner without celebration: Hildesheim handball players are struggling with injury concerns

Another masterpiece in handball! HC Eintracht Hildesheim caused a sensation and secured a glorious victory of 35:26 against the second team from Eintracht Hagen in the eighth game of the season. But the celebration is overshadowed by painful injuries - a dramatic evening for the people of Hildesheim!

However, success came at a high price: backcourt player Matteo Ehlers broke his feet in an unfortunate collision with defense chief Peter Juric. Doctors feared a metatarsal fracture, and Ehlers was immediately taken to the hospital. Circulator Moritz Schade also now has his knee injury with him. The hospital at Eintracht is growing because other players such as Rene Gruszka, Jorit Reshöft, Luca Hopfmann and Philipp Wäger are already unavailable. A real drain on strength, which is causing the substitutes' bench to shrink further and the fans' worry lines to grow.

A game full of ups and downs

The game itself was a thrilling experience for the 1,400 spectators in the Volksbank Arena! First the Hagen team gained a brief advantage with a 7:4 lead, but the Hildesheim team's defensive machine soon went into full operation. Captain Lothar von Hermanni shone as a playmaker despite his unusual role and scored an impressive nine goals! Florian Billepp also played well and contributed seven goals.

Despite the outstanding victory, the thought of the injured colleagues remains. The shock is deep, and the worried fans cannot help but feel sympathy. A victory that raises more questions than answers - how will the Eintracht team be able to present themselves until the next game? The next few weeks could be a real test for the people of Hildesheim!
