HCC without Raphaël Erb this weekend, update on other players

The defenseman took a hit to his ribs late in the game against Genève-Servette HC and sustained a hematoma which is now preventing him from playing. As for Devin Muller (upper body injury), he will undergo further medical tests, but he, too, is unlikely to play. Sébastien Hostettler (adductors), on the other hand, might return to the lineup tonight.

As for Henrik Eriksson, he does not seem to recover as quickly from his knee injury as HC La Chaux-de-Fonds would have hoped. As Reinhard tells the same source, the forward will have to undergo another MRI today and "a surgery is not excluded at this point".
