EHC Biel's Noah Delémont not ready for the start of the season

"99 percent of chance I won't be on the ice on September 17," states Noah Delémont to the "Bieler Tagblatt". The young defender of EHC Biel does not want to force a comeback and prefers to wait some more time before returning to the lineup. "An injury like that once is fine, but if you were to get injured again straight away on your comeback, that would be tough," the 22-year-old explains.

Delémont tore his cruciate ligament at the end of January. The most optimistic return date was seven months after the injury, i.e. the end of August.
