Handball players face injury setbacks ahead of new season

Handball players Siobann Delaye and Martine Kårigstad Andersen are facing significant injury challenges as new seasons approach.

Siobann Delaye, a winger for the French champions Brest Bretagne Handball, is working to regain her form after a season marred by injuries. After a difficult period that had a significant mental impact, Delaye reports feeling physically fresh and confident in her play again following training sessions in Györ.

In contrast, Norwegian back player Martine Kårigstad Andersen has suffered a setback shortly after transferring from Fana to Sola. The 23-year-old sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury just before the start of the season, which will require a lengthy period of recovery.
