The 34-year-old forward is dealing with an upper-body injury and is not expected to return before the international break. He would thus miss the next five games.
Mottet is not the only one missing tonight's game against the SCL Tigers, though. Mauro Dufner will also not be in the lineup. Even worse, he will be out for the remainder of the season.
He will undergo shoulder surgery. Dufner had problems with his shoulder since the start of the season, but it has gotten worse. "Mauro was in so much pain, he couldn't sleep for 2-3 nights after every game. We tried different therapies, but it didn't really work," Gerd Zenhäusern, team manager of the Dragons, said ahead of tonight's game against the SCL Tigers.
