The hard impact against the balustrade behind the Kloten cage in the second half of last Saturday's game at Cornèr Arena unfortunately had serious consequences for Julian Walker.
The 37-year-old forward, who a few days earlier had celebrated his 500th appearance in the bianconero reported an injury to the triceps tendon in his right elbow that requires surgical repair.
The player will undergo surgery in the coming days in Zurich, and the expected recovery time for a return to competitive activity is about four months.
The family of 'Hockey Club Lugano wishes the unfortunate and tenacious "Jule" a recovery on schedule and awaits him on the ice for the final phase of the championship.
