National team head coach Ken Diederich has announced the final roster for the « bubble » in Kosovo in February. In the official press conference on Friday-evening, Diederich nominated the following 11 players for the games against Kosovo (18th of February) and Iceland (20th of February).
Ben Kovac (Den Helder Suns, Netherlands)
Ivan Delgado (Etzella Ettelbruck)
Bob Melcher (Racing Luxembourg)
Philippe Gutenkauf (Etzella Ettelbruck)
Joe Kalmes (Musel Pikes)
Alex Laurent (Klosterneuburg, Austria)
Yannick Verbeelen (Sparta)
Oliver Vujakovic (Tirol, Austria)
Max Schmit (Heffingen)
Clancy Rugg (Basket Esch)
Gaetan Bernimont (Racing Luxembourg)
11 players will be part of team Luxembourg. Several players can not travel to Kosovo because of different reasons (school exams, injuries, ..). Professional player Thomas Grün will also not be part of the team because he was tested positive for Covid-19 a few days ago. Grün’s absence will definitely be difficult to overcome.
