Kassel (dpa) - Handball national player Tobias Reichmann has had a successful knee operation and will be absent from Bundesliga club MT Melsungen for four to six weeks.

The 32-year-old right-wing winger suffered a tear in the outer meniscus the previous week in the DHB team's opening game against Uruguay (43:14).

Patrick Groetzki was nominated for Reichmann by the Rhein-Neckar Löwen.

"I'm fine, the pain is bearable, things are going uphill!" Said Reichmann on social networks after the intervention.

His comeback is expected in early March.
