Blaž Janc will not participate in the European Championship in Germany in January. Today, the Slovenian national handball team will gather in Celje, and from January 11 onwards, they will compete in the European Championship in Germany. Slovenia will participate in the preparations and the competition without Blaž Janc.
The reason for this is a back injury that the Barcelona player has been suffering from since November. Janc has been on the field a few times in the past month, but he is not ready for the European Championship. The excellent player from the Spanish giants Barcelona began experiencing back problems during November. For that reason, he was absent from the field for an extended period, and as part of the rehabilitation process, he played in a few matches during the recent period, but only for a few minutes.
– Playing for the Slovenian national team has always brought me immense joy and honor, so it deeply saddens me that I will be forced to watch this year’s European Championship only as a spectator. When it comes to health, one should not rush things, even if the heart desires otherwise, says Blaž Janc to the Handball Federation of Slovenia.
Janc’s absence will be a significant challenge for Slovenia, as the player is widely recognized as one of the best in the world in his position.
