Berlin (AP) - For national player Paul Drux, renouncing the handball world championship in Egypt (January 13th to 31st) is out of the question.
"If the national coach wants to take me with him, I would come too," said the captain of the Bundesliga club Füchse Berlin.
The 25-year-old had already informed national coach Alfred Gislason.
Drux is currently in the expanded World Cup squad, the final nomination will be announced on Monday.
«For me it is one of the greatest privileges to be able to play for Germany.
And if the chance presents itself, I'd like to take it, ”Drux explained.
But the Berliner does not yet know whether he will be there.
In Finn Lemke, Steffen Weinhold, Hendrik Pekeler, Patrick Wienczek and Fabian Wiede, five Bundesliga professionals have already canceled.
"That is of course a shame, in terms of sport they are big setbacks," said Drux.
But of course he can also understand his colleagues.
“Everyone has their own opinion and everyone has different motivations.
There is no right or wrong either.
So I respect that and everyone should do that, ”said the backcourt player.

He still had thoughts in the corona lockdown.
“Of course, I also watched the infection process.
And of course I also spoke to my partner.
I think there is a chance I can get it all right, ”Drux said.
He is currently watching the European Championship for women.
“And I see this bubble there very positively.
It also worked for the basketball players.
And that is also planned in Cairo.
I see it quite feasible, ”said Drux.
