Švedski reprezentativni vratar Mikael Appelgren zbog ozljede je van kadra najmanje do kraja godine, a Rhein-Neckar Löwen pronašao je privremenu zamjenu u veteranu...
Ozljedom Mikaela Appelgrena Rhein-Neckar Löwen našao se u problemu i na jednom vrataru s bundesligaškim iskustvom i to Andreasu Palicki. U klubu su reagirali i vrlo brzo su pronašli pričuvno rješenje.
Kratkoročni ugovor s Löwenom potpisao je Nikolas Katsigiannis, 38-godišnji vratar koji je bio pod ugovorom s Erlangenom.
Katsigiannis će tako zajedno s Palickom braniti vrata Löwena u najmanju ruku do kraja Svjetskog prvenstva u Egiptu do kada bi se trebao i Appelgren oporaviti.
Katsigiannis ima puno iskustva, a 2015. i 2016. godine branio je i za Kiel.
