So only 1 right back again.

yeah, but since this is also preparation for the olympics I guess it makes most sense to stick to one RB. Cos there is no chance in hell that we are travelling to France with two RBs

No perhaps not, just a little worrying how much Burgaard will have to play.

Yup she'll be exhausted when the new season starts

Yeah, even if Tranborg makes it to OG in time, who knows how much she can play and in what shape.

I think you can be pretty certain that she won't. I would honestly be pretty pissed if he brings her

So no Sandra Toft for first of the Poland matches in Poland. But probably just because she’s already picked (for OG). https://sport.tv2.dk/haandbold/2024-02-26-sandra-toft-respekterer-jesper-jensens-beslutning

So I can see TV2 has a piece on Kaja Kamp. Interesting if she has a chance of going to OG. I'm asuming that would be instead of Sarah Iversen.

I guess it depends on a few factors. will JJ bring 3 pivot? Will Heindahl be ready(doubtful imo)?

personally I think he will bring 3 pivots, so I think Kamp has a very real shot at going to the olympics.

But with only 14 spots, will there really be room for 3 pivots?

Right, I forgot Heindahl might make it

I think you could. 2 goalkeepers, 3 pivots, 3 wingers. that would leave you with room for 6 backcourt players. That could work in my opinion. you bring Haugsted, Bur, Simone, Højlund, KJ and AMH. But you could of cause also just go with two pivot, though you run the risk of them both being very tired cos they play so much for their clubs.

You could even risk just bringing two wingers, which would give you 3 pivots and 7 backcourt players. Of cause depends on what the rules are for subbing in players in case of an injury at the olympics.

Sounds reasonable with 3 wings, 3 pivots and 6 backcourt players. Especially if Tranborg won't make it (and as Scaglione is injured). I just remember seeing some interview where I believe S. Iversen said something of along the lines of only expecting there to be 2 pivots in the OG team.

The question is however, if this solution is picked and Bur is alone, will there be 2 RWs and 1 LW then? Or will Ø be alone again? Seems a bit risky with only 2 left hands.

Personally I would pick to bring just on LW and then two on the right wing in that instance. As for bur, I think JJ would just put Højlund over on RB when Bur needs a break. Or he will put KJ over on RB as he puts Breistøl on RB in Esbjerg(which works like crap, and I have no idea why he does that)

Yeah I would probably also prefer 2 RWs but I am not entirely sure any of our first choices on the wing can carry it alone tbh.

But I think JJ will go a long way to bring Heindahl and Tranborg if possible.

I would really prefer if he didn't. Last thing I heard him say of Tranborg was that it was unlikely that she would return this season. And as far as I can tell Heindahl is still not training actual handball. But maybe if she returns to playing games in late april/early may, then maybe she could be ready

So he's considering them but the special rules for reserves makes it extra risky if they are not fit https://www.dr.dk/sporten/haandbold/kvindelandsholdet/dilemmaerne-bliver-flere-naar-landstraeneren-skal-udtage-en-ol

seems to me it's pretty clear who the favourites are to go among the keepers. He showed very little confidence in Anna K

I think she's going to share time with Toft on saturday and that's why Althea played so much. Then Althea can also be rested. But maybe I am wrong. I do believe she has very small chances of going though. Because going to OG is what Toft has fought for so many years. Despite that Anna might be the better choice now or soon.

could be the case, you're right. we shall see saturday. And I think you are right, the only chance of Sandra not going to OG is if she gets injured.

Helene Kindberg replaces Alberte Kielstrup

What a shame, but Kindberg has also played very well lately.
