Diego Schwarzenbach close to returning to Olten's lineup

Schwarzenbach was out with a lower-body injury and is expected to return by the end of August. Now he has begun practicing with the team again, though he will not play in tonight's game against HC Lugano.

On the other hand, Jerôme Portmann is still out. The 22-year-old suffered a hand injury and is not expected to be back before mid-September.
