Berlin (dpa / bb) - Like Paul Drux, Marian Michalczik would like to take part in the handball world championship in Egypt as the second Füchse professional in the extended squad of the national team.

"I have given my green light that if I should be invited that I will be there," said Michalczik.

He had already communicated this to national coach Alfred Gislasson.

But he has already given some thought.

“But maybe I can take it a little more relaxed,” said the 23-year-old.

Because Michalczik has already tested positive for the corona virus and had to complete a two-week quarantine.

"That's why it's no longer so serious, because I'm one of those people who - if you can trust it - can leave the subject behind for a while," he said.

Michalczik considers a renewed infection at the World Cup from January 13 to 31 unlikely.

«I more or less went through this virus.

I probably have these antibodies in my body now, ”said the back player.

However, the disease set him back.

"I also had my after-pains and of course a training deficit," he said.

With extra shifts in training, he is now trying to find his top form again.

Michalczik wants to show them at the latest at the World Cup.

The roster will be announced on Monday.

In Patrik Wienczek, Hendrik Pekeler, Steffen Weinhold, Finn Lemke and club colleague Fabian Wiede, five Bundesliga professionals have canceled.

“You have to respect this decision absolutely.

But of course a lot of quality is lost, »said Michalczik.

The Berliner remains optimistic: “Especially in Germany there is a really good breadth.

There will be room for others.

And maybe we are more unpredictable when one or the other not so familiar face is there. "
