Santeri Alatalo back after break, updates on other Lugano players

Struggling with muscle pains in recent weeks and thus missing some games. Santeri Alatalo is confirmed to be fully available to HC Lugano again after the international break.

Giovanni Morini, coming back from a broken femur, has recently stepped back onto the ice for individual training. As the Bianconeri informed today, the forward will undergo a specialist checkup in six weeks to see whether he is ready for team practice.

Fellow forward Calvin Thürkauf should be returning to the ice to practice on his own soon. In three weeks, he will be examined to determine a timeline for a comeback.

As for Joren van Pottelberghe, the netminder has undergone surgery to reduce and stabilize his fractures. Full recovery is scheduled to take about four months.
