Teams Management kept secret violations, the club raged: – The reaction was quite … – Dagbladet.no

(Dagbladet): Sunday became known that Sander Sagosen suffered a fracture in his hand already during the match against France. Thus he played both semifinals and bronze finals with the breakup.

No one outside the Norwegian team knew about the injury, which made the director of player’s club pissed. Sagosen plays regularly in Danish Aalborg and the Danish TV2 told Jan Larsen that he is red-hot with rage because of the way Norway has handled the damage.

– I’ve talked to Sander. He has a fracture in his hand, and it is of course annoying, but I’m furious at the Norwegian Handball Federation. It’s insane that they have informed the club, said Jan Larsen.

Teams Doctor Thomas Torgalsen course has been joined by the reaction of Aalborg.

– It was pretty powerful, but we had anticipated that we would get a reaction, says Thomas Torgalsen Dagbladet.

– Why?

– It’s normal. A conflict between national teams and professional clubs. It goes both ways. So what we had expected, says Torgalsen on.

Confidentiality

Aalborg director says that he did not blame Sander Sagosen for secrecy, but that it is the Norwegian management who must take responsibility in this case.

– Why did you not say something to the team?

– I’m Sanders doctor. I have confidentiality when it comes to injuries and such things. It is the player who has the final say in such situations. He would play and would not want anyone to be informed of the damage, says Thomas Torgalsen.

Teams doctor explains that the injury was discussed very carefully, also with colleagues in physician networks in Norway.

– We discussed two things: Whether there was a risk that the breach would be exacerbated, and the game with violations could prolong the course of treatment afterwards. As we saw it, would not some of the parts happen, says Torgalsen.

– Would you have done it differently in retrospect?

– such as I it looks now, we would not have done it any differently.

Several reviews

– Were you afraid that Aalborg should sit on their hind legs if you telling me?

– It’s obviously a possibility that they could have done it. It could created noise and stuff. We could use some energy on it. It was part of the assessment. Sander would benefit most from a focus on sports, said Torgalsen.

– Were you afraid the information about the breach should reach out to the opposing teams?

– Yes, we also talked about. Sander was very little interest in them to know that he had a fracture in his hand. Is there anyone who has an injury in handball, so one can use it, says Torgalsen.

Taking self-criticism

The protagonist himself says to NRK that he takes self-criticism that he would inform his club.

– I was maybe a little closed in my thinking, I only thought of playing EM. It was all focused on my part, says Sander Sagosen NRK in the arrival hall at Oslo Airport Gardermoen.

The damage to Sander Sagosen takes four to five weeks to process, according Torgalsen.
