Very professional call from a player his age, how do you rate this decision? In my mind, it occurs Sindrason going a bit under the radar. Everyone talking about Roganovic.

I think this is a sensible decision from the player's perspective. He is very focused and desperate to succeed. I think Gummersbach supporters will be somewhat surprised by Sindrason's ability and strength, already this season.

Gardar Ingi Sindrason sacrifices next month's U20 European Championship to focus on Gummersbach. "I've been struggling with my knee and shoulder since the finals (in May) and I want to recover 100% in order before I move out. This is the hardest decision I've had to make in my career, as it's always a great honor to play for Iceland. I believe it's best for me to get 100% in shape and arrive ready for Germany as I have a really challenging task ahead of me there and not arrive too late for my first preparation period in Germany."

Sindrason's decision is a blow for Iceland as he is regarded as the team's best and most important player.

Garðar Sindra gefur ekki kost á sér með U20 ára landsliðinu - Handkastið

Garðar Ingi Sindrason hefur ákveðið að gefa ekki kost á sér með U20 ára landsliði Íslands sem tekur þátt í Evrópumótinu í Rúmeníu í næsta mánuði. Ísland er þar…

Are you sure that Elvar Örn Jónsson is joining the Lions as early as the summer of 2026?

Apparently yes - guess it will be announced after the season. Haukur is a big reason but also the promise of more minutes in attack than he is getting at Magdeburg. Löwen sees so much potential in Elvar in are hoping to replicate the impact of Haukur this season. For the national team Elvar is number one at left back, with Haukur his understudy. But it's been changing following Elvars lack of attack at Magdeburg - he is desperate to keep the starting spot for the national team also.

And also one of the big reasons Haukur wasnt tempted by the huge clubs after him now - is because he has been told Elvar is coming this summer.

I also think Gunnar Robertsson (17) would be a great fit for Löwen. His father used to play for this club. One of the best in the world in his age group.

Haukur Thrastarson with another huge game - incredible how the Iceland coach doesnt seem to rate him much. The best Icelandic handball player at this time. Elvar Örn Jónsson arriving soon. The Selfoss dream team to be assembled in Löwen.

Reynir Stefansson scored four goals against Egypt today. Showed a great promise.

Reunited?

Hinriksson about his future. "I have few possibilities to choose from. Everything should be clear soon," Hinriksson told Handkastið. The interest from Gummersbach is known here in Iceland. He also confirmed that one of the possibilities is to stay at Leipzig. I have however heard he would be leaving. Guess he is not lying. https://handkastid.net/2026/04/14/blaer-liggur-undir-feldi/

Two players on trial at Gummersbach:

Any truth in the rumour (here in Iceland) that Blær Hinriksson could be on his way to Gummersbach. Gudjon Valur Sigurdsson would like to add him to the team. Apparently Hinriksson will not stay at Leipzig beyond this season.

Vranjes attended the semi-finals of the final 4 in the Icelandic cup last Thursday. Stealing the supertalent Narfi Arndal from under the noses of Barcelona or just enjoying the Icelandic sun??? Arndal played a few minutes in the first game of the day.

Also heard there was a Gummersbach person taking notes along with a Barcelona one at a 1. division match in Iceland last week. There could only have been one player they were watching - Narfi Arndal (15) who scored 13 goals in the game.

Viktor Gisli Hallgrimsson from Barcelona to VfL Gummersbach in 2027 is being reported.

Interesting:

Zitat von Paul Jonas

Island muss ja ne Monstergeneration bekommen so in 2-3 Jahren. Wenn euer Trainer weggeht, dann wohl zur Nationalmannschaft.

Gudjon Valur Sigurdsson will sometime in the future take over the national team but I don´t think it will be until 5-7 years from now. He has a great project at Gummersbach and wants to achieve something big.

And according to reliable Icelandic media, there is more to come with Narfi Arndal also close to agreeing to come to Gummersbach. Arndal is a phenomenon like no other. He is expected to make his A-Iceland debut at the age of 16.

Sindrason is a great talent and has been evolving the past few years. Of course Roganovic is on a different level but that doesnt mean that Sindrason wont be a great player in the future.
