Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - National team captain Uwe Gensheimer calls on his colleagues from the handball Bundesliga to waive a salary due to the ongoing Corona crisis.
«Every player knows that there is a lack of money and we all have to contribute to the survival of the Bundesliga.
I don't like to give up my salary, but if we still want to have an employer in 2021, we have to help now, ”said the 34-year-old left wing of the Rhein-Neckar Löwen to the news magazine“ Focus ”.
At the table runner-up from Mannheim, open discussions with the management about the economic situation of the club would be held, according to Gensheimer.
All Löwen players would therefore know about the lack of funds from sponsors.

The Bundesliga is recording millions of losses due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, because of which a large part of the previous season's games had to be played in front of empty ranks.
"We cannot sit back because we still have to manage the crisis," said HBL managing director Frank Bohmann of the German press agency.
"It's a ride on the razor blade."
