Handball player Sorina Grozav will miss the 2023 World Championship

The 24-year-old handball player is the daughter of Mariana Tyrke, and in 2022 she married football player Giku Grozav.

After moving from Korona Brasov in 2021, Sorina Grozav became Rapid’s top scorer in the Champions League and Flower League.

Also, the handball player will miss participation in the Romanian national team at the Women’s World Handball Championship, which will be held from November 29 to December 17 in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

After eight competitive stages of the current season, the Romanian vice-champion is only in fifth place, having 15 points.

Even in the Champions League, things aren’t looking good for Rapid, with just two wins in six games and fighting for the play-offs in eighth place.
