Ikast Handball will be handicapped by the absence of superstar Julie Scaglione, who will be sidelined for the coming months with a wrist injury and will miss the start of the season.

The club director, Daniel Gronhoj confirms the news to TV2 Sport.

"We don't yet know how long she will be sidelined, as she is due for a second scan later this week, but it will be at least two to three months," says Gronhoj. 

The director explains that Scaglione jumped to take a shot and landed on her back with an opponent falling on top of her, causing her hand to get trapped awkwardly. Gronho laments the loss.

"She is our leading goal scorer, so it is a major blow for the club to be without Scaglione for the coming months."
