There are 15 days left until the first match of the Croatian handball players at the European Handball Championship, where Croatia plays in a group with the host Sweden in Malmo.
Croatia opens its road against Georgia at 18:00 in exactly 15 days.
As things stand, it will almost certainly not be at the championship Marina Šipićaone of the best Croatian handball players. Šipić is a very important player for Croatia in the pivot position. He showed it at the last World Cup when he scored the goal to go through against Hungary in the quarter-finals.
A knee injury is still too difficult and the chances of Šipić playing at the handball Euro are minimal, almost non-existent. Instead of him on the list is Zlatko Raužanone of the best Croatian pivots, writes Gol.hr.
Raužan is a member of RK Sesveta and this season he played brilliantly both in the Europa League and in the domestic championship, which was recognized by coach Sigurdsson. Igor Vori trains him in Sesvete, who certainly knows his qualities as a former pivot of the national team.
Croatia opens its road against Georgia at 18:00 in exactly 15 days.
Who is Sigurdsson counting on?
The selector has published the list 22 players with which he continues his preparations. The goalkeepers are Kuzmanović, Matej Mandić and Slavić, the left wings are David Mandić and Jelinić, the right wings are Šoštarić and Glavaš, and on the line they have Načinović, Šušnja, Šimić and Raužan.
The left outer ones are Lučin, Srna, Mamić, Ljevar and Ćeško, the middle ones are Cindrić and Pavlović, and the right ones are Ivan Martinović, Maraš, Klarica and Patrik Martinović.
