– It may well be that they are the world champions, but their management is shit.

Ekstra Bladet has asked team he will play in the Danish Håndboldforbund, Morten Henriksen, head coach Xavi Pascual accusations against the Danish Håndboldforbund.

– Xavi Pascual says both, that your management is bad and shit. What is your comment to it?

– I fully understand a frustration with in Barcelona. They have lost a player, certainly of the season, so their frustration is even greater than ours, and it is not small, for we are also really bored of it at Caspers behalf.

– We communicate all that we can with the clubs both during and not least after a championship, when there have been something serious. It is unique in Caspers (Casper U. Mortensen, ed.) the case is that since we have Casper out in the two matches before we make a scan in relation to the Caspers (Casper U. Mortensen, ed.) knees to be sure that there is nothing. On the scan there is nothing to see.

– It is only a scan for the championship, which shows a new situation in relation to the Caspers (Casper U. Mortensen, ed.) the knees of the damage. It is the natural explanation of the fact that the communication has not been as desired.

– there Had been a second image of the first scan, so we had acted differently. Either we had taken Casper out completely, depending how serious it was, or, of course, had a dialogue with the club, says Henriksen.

Morten Henriksen acknowledges that the whole process has been far from optimal. DHF, however, could not have done it differently, believes Henriksen.

– We are first made aware of it on Wednesday, during the second scan. So, one can always say whether Casper has been the few minutes that he has played, from the first to the second scan and made it worse.

we can not say, as the damage Casper (Casper U. Mortensen, ed.) ‘ve got, you can’t always see on a scan, so it is very complex and unfortunate, says Henriksen.

FC Barcelona Lassa has been hit hard by the WORLD cup, as three key players have suffered injuries. The French stregspiller Cedric Sorhaindo and the icelandic playmaker Aron Pálmarsson is in addition to the Casper U. Mortensen come back to the Spanish club stuff.

According to the FC Barcelona Lassa, Casper U. Mortensen’s injury the worst of the three. Sorhaindo is expected out in six weeks, while Palmarsson just is out in three weeks.

Casper U. Mortensen sustained the injury against Tunisia, and were then given only limited playing time at the WORLD cup. As the winger came into the final against Norway. Even though it was only a short time, was Casper U. Mortensen happy for the short indhop.

– Unfortunately, I went to pieces in the struggle of the two, and my knee has would not recover as we had hoped, so I am glad to get it and enjoy it, and I’m so proud of all the boys, said Casper U. Mortensen to Ekstra Bladet after finalesejren of Norway.
