Hessen: MT Melsungen gives the all-clear for Martinovic

Melsungen (dpa/lhe) - Handball Bundesliga club MT Melsungen does not have to do without Ivan Martinovic in the long term. As the North Hessians announced on Friday, the magnetic resonance examination only revealed a stretch in the ankle of the left-hander. The Croatian backcourt player, who was born in Austria, suffered a severe foul in the Bundesliga game he lost 33:40 on Thursday at SC DHfK Leipzig and had to be taken off the field by the rescue service. Martinovic will take a break from training for several days, but MT is hoping for his return for the next game on December 4th against Bergischer HC.
