HCC looking for an import player, update on injured players

"The best case would be, if we were to dig up a talented young import player, who quickly adapts to the club and could remain with the team for the next season", says head coach Alex Reinhard, but adds that the current market does not offer much.

In other news,  Robin Leblanc's injury is not as severe as expected. The 33-year-old forward, who took a hit to the neck in Tuesday's game and was unable to finish the game, has to wear a neck brace due to his whiplash injury, but says that he does his best to return to the lineup on Saturday.

Raphaël Erb, on the other hand, will likely be out for another four to six weeks. He underwent an MRI yesterday, which revealed a partially torn medium collateral ligament in his right knee. Melvin Merola, however, might make his comeback this Saturday. (mso)
