Personnel worries at VfL Gummersbach: Is the comeback in the derby?

Gummersbach, Deutschland - In Gummersbach, the tension is bubbling! The cup round of 16 against the Bergisches HC is just around the corner, and VfL Gummersbach is fighting with massive personnel problems. Coach Gudjon Valur Sigurdsson has clear priorities: "It's just about getting on!" The fans hope for a comeback of the injured stars, but the situation remains tense.

The VfL injury misery is dramatic. Captain Julian Köster, who tore himself in the knee in the Bundesliga game against Leipzig, and newcomer Teitur Einarsson with a tendon tear, could possibly be back on the field. "It looks better and better," says Sigurdsson the hope, but there is no official confirmation. The return of the two top players would be a real ray of hope for the team, which is already strongly challenged without them.

But the worries don't stop here! Ellidi Vidarsson and Milos Vujovic could also be canceled. Vidarsson has hardly played against Hamburg, and Vujovic was again injured in the European Championship qualification game. Sigurdsson remains optimistic, but sees the risk of overload and warns of too high expectations of his returnees. "We will burden you in training before we use it again," the coach assures.

in the cup derby against Bergische HC only the victory for VfL. The relegation from the Bundesliga has established itself as a serious opponent and leads the table in the second division. The BHC should not be underestimated with a strong defense and disciplined attacks. "This is not a normal second division team," warns Sigurdsson, who is preparing for an exciting duel. Tickets are still available and the fans can look forward to a gripping game!
