MT Melsungen cheered: Cup victory makes the fans dream of the stars!

Flensburg, Deutschland - The MT Melsungen celebrated an impressive victory against SG Flensburg-Handewitt in the cup quarter-finals and is now facing the first cup victory in the club's history. With a rousing 30:28, the handball players triumphed in front of almost 4,500 enthusiastic fans in the sold-out Rothenbach-Halle in Kassel. Aaron Mensing, who returned after an injury, shone with four goals. "I am glad that I was there today," said the Danish back room player. The MT sports director praised the medical department for Mensing's comeback, which further increased the team mood, since the association continues to perform peat. 

Bitter news, however, for the MT Melsungen: playmaker Elvar Örn Jonsson has contracted a ligament tear in the ankle in a training session and fails for the rest of the season. This shock diagnosis was made by team doctor Dr. Gerd Rauch announced and hits the team hard because Jonsson plays decisive roles both offensive and defensively. Michael Allendorf, the sports director, described the loss as "continued bad news", since in addition to Jonsson, other important players such as Ivan Martinovic and Kai Häfner are injured. The team faces challenges because there is a lack of alternatives for the back area, while the focus is already on the next Bundesliga games.

Despite the critical personnel situation, the team hopes to successfully master the upcoming games. The next top game against TSV Hannover-Burgdorf is already on Monday. The success in the cup gives the players a thrust that have to concentrate on the remaining six Bundesliga games to achieve the best results and to receive fan enthusiastic.
