The hand of the TV profile swelled up after surgery – was told to turn on Gardermoen – VG


CLEAR MESSAGE: The flight to the European Handball Championship in Spain had to be postponed for Daniel Høglund. Here from an interview with VG earlier this year.

After arriving at the airport, handball commentator Daniel Høglund (35) was clearly told not to board the plane. Now a new operation awaits.

Published:

– It has gone better to put it that way, says Daniel Høglund to VG.

In the morning hours on Wednesday, the Viaplay profile posted a picture of a very swollen right hand.

He tells VG that he carried out an operation on Friday that had been planned for a long time. Then he just had to remove a fluid accumulation.

– Then I would think that there has been an infection in the hand. It is extremely swollen and hot. I felt a little better yesterday, so I thought “it’s probably going down”. It was only when I came to Gardermoen and met the others that they were like: “That does not look good”.

Høglund sent a picture to the operating room doctor and received an impressive enough answer at half past five in the morning. Then the message was clear:

– Do not go on the plane. You have to turn around, says Høglund.

He was scheduled to comment on Norway’s opening match against Kazakhstan on Friday. Now there is a high probability that it will go without Høglund – at least with him present.

– I think so, I can not understand anything else. I’m prepared for it to smoke, but of course I hope I make it to the opening match. I know more during the day.

Later Wednesday morning, Høglund states in an SMS that there will be a new operation with a subsequent course of antibiotics and hospitalization for several days. Thus, Sunday’s match against Iran will probably also end.

– How was it to get the message that you had to turn around?

– Of course it was awkward, but it was so disgusting to get on a plane, so I’m really just happy that someone made a decision.

– If I had been 20 years old, I would probably have been desperate and sorry, but it is a long championship so I will probably get down as soon as possible.

His employer may need to find an alternative plan for the championship.

– It is too early to say how we will solve this. Must spend the day looking at Daniel’s form and making a plan, writes Kristian Oma, who is sports manager at NENT Norway, in an SMS to VG.

TV PROFILE: Daniel Høglund in an interview with national team coach Thorir Hergeirsson.

The championship is the first handball championship since Høglund became taken for drink-driving for the second time earlier this fall.

– It will be an extra special championship for me. It will be special, but in a good way, says Høglund – and adds:

– I do not intend to lie down and drop the entire championship.
