HSG Wetzlar finds a new goalkeeper to resolve an injury situation. Karim Hendawy joins his first Bundesliga club at the age of 37.
Hendawy has been a vital part of the national team of Egypt for several years. Now he has answered Wetzlar´s call for a vacant spot between the posts.
Bart Ravensbergen experienced a serious knee injury and Hendawy brings proper experience from Al-Ahly SC and Zamalek SC plus the European excursions with Besiktas, Dobrogea Sud Constanta and RK Pelister.
– It was always a dream of mine to play in the Bundesliga. I had inquiries from Germany in the past, but for various reasons, it didn’t work out. I’m all the more pleased that it has now worked out and I can play for HSG Wetzlar. I hope the formalities can be resolved quickly so that I can start team training soon, says Hendawy to the club website.
Anadin Suljakovic, in Wetzlar since 2019 is already in the goalkeeper team and will play the Sunday game against SC Leipzig as Hendawy´s entry visa will be pending until the beginning of next week.
