After missing the entire preseason, Justin Kloss returned for the SHL Premiere.
Then last season’s successful player was forced to step aside after six minutes of play.
– He has suffered a new upper body injury, so we expect him to be out for six to eight weeks, physiotherapist Emilia Backman tells Hockeynews.
During the preseason, Justin Kloss was withdrawn with a mysterious wrist injury.
And now the bad luck continues for the 29-year-old American, who should be a leading striker at Leksand.
In the scrimmage, he rushed to the rim at full speed and couldn’t make a play.
– It is a completely new injury on another side of the body. It was very unfortunate, says Emilia Backman.
Withdrew with injury problems
Another blow for Leksand, who applauded their home opener against Örebro 5-3.
Dala then took a 2-0 lead after the first half and regained the 3-2 lead just over seven minutes into the third period.
Max Verono also returned from shoulder surgery and played after missing all of the practice games.
Cale Ostman missed the first show since he missed training and will be back next week or the week after.
Matt Caito should be able to return at any time after his injury, while Martin Karlsson has a long-term injury.
The two teams that collapsed
Against Örebro, right-footed Justin Klos played alongside midfielder Marek Hrevik and fellow striker Oscar Lange.
With the changes he made, there was a first pass for the Slovakian lead.
On Saturday afternoon, Frölunda awaits in Scandinavia, a meeting between two teams that had a difficult start to the season when the Gothenburg team lost 4-2 in Timra after 3-0 in the first half.
