Many  especially Sweden almost all famous players are missing except palicka , for Sweden it could be a technical issue as the coach tries to renew the team to make it younger , Nikola Karabatic is the most famous one missing , Germany misses some key players among them Wiencek , some really key players in other teams missing as well

Not much renewing reasons for Sweden.

Some said no due to Covid, others not feeling ready after injuries. 
Andreas Nilsson asked for 2 days off with the family due to a tight schedule but didn't get it, som that became a no from him as well.

I would btw call Gottfridsson a decently big name as well.

IHF really should have postponed this event to 2022. We will be lucky if this will be the only withdrawal.

The handball schedule is too packed to be able to postpone. It would be a cancellation

32 teams is too much for a handball WC even before Covid, let alone this situation.
