Although there is still no timeline for the return of the American forward, the SCL Tigers' team manager Marc Eichmann tries to allay rumors that Earl's career might be over: "I'm not worried that we will have to make do without Robbie for too much longer," he says to the Berner Zeitung.

Also head coach Rikard Franzén is counting on the forward at least until the start of the season in October, the same source writes. But Eichmann says that they want to be cautious and patient with Earl: "We want to slowly lead the player back to the regular workload."
