Hesse: Metatarsal fracture: Wetzlar without playmaker Fredriksen

Wetzlar (dpa / lhe) - Handball Bundesliga club HSG Wetzlar has to do without playmaker Magnus Fredriksen for a long time. The Norwegian international broke a metatarsal in the Bundesliga game at Bergisches HC on Sunday. An X-ray examination on Monday revealed the devastating diagnosis for the 25-year-old, who will be out for three to four months and will therefore also miss the World Cup in January. "We are currently having to cope with some setbacks. This shocking news is hard for all of us," said HSG Managing Director Björn Seipp.
