Handball European Championship: Prokop gives all-clear to Wolff

National coach Christian Prokop can also fall back on his entire squad in the second preliminary round of the European Handball Championship in Croatia.

On Sunday, goalkeeper Andreas Wolff gave the go-ahead for a mission in the match on Monday (18.15 hrs in the LIVETICKER) against the world championship third Slovenia.”It’s all right. We don’t worry,”Prokop said at a press conference in the team hotel in Zagreb.

The foot injury from the opening match against Montenegro (32:19) was a “slight bruise. It’s not a bad thing,”Prokop said.

Wolff, who was a prominent player of the German team on Saturday, was treated intensively after his substitution in the final phase and limped with a thick bag of ice on his right foot from the field.

Prokop approaches the next task with a great deal of optimism. Slovenia is indeed a “completely different challenge” than Montenegro, but we want to take the momentum that we have now absorbed with us. Team spirit and cohesion will be even more important. We have to play smart and tactically disciplined,”said Prokop.

With a win on Monday, the German team can reach the main round early. The last opponent in the preliminary round will be Macedonia on Wednesday (18.15 hrs in LIVETICKER).
