Back troubles - ZSC's Reto Schäppi might miss the start of the season

As Blick journalist Stephan Roth reports, the ZSC Lions might have to make do without their forward Reto Schäppi for the season opener against Ambrì-Piotta on Wednesday next week.

According to Roth, the 25-year-old Swiss international is dealing with back problems. Schäppi already missed last week's CHL-game on the road against Lukko Rauma due to "not being at 100 percent", as the Lions had announced. (rlu)
