HBC Nantes and FC Porto have both lost key players for an extended period following injuries sustained at the opening of the new EHF Champions League season.

French vice-champions Nantes will reportedly be without Kauldi Odriozola for several months, a significant blow to their squad depth as the competition gets underway.

Porto have also been affected, with Gunnarsson sidelined for a lengthy spell, according to the report.

Both clubs will need to adjust their plans as they continue their Champions League campaigns without these players in the coming months.
