After the big shock in the home game on Sunday, there is now positive news from Stefan Gaffal. The 26-year-old was allowed to leave the hospital on Thursday followingnoon. The striker initially stumbled in the game once morest Pustertal on Sunday and was hit in the neck area by a teammate’s slapshot as he fell. Closer examination revealed a fracture in the head area, but not in the cervical spine.

Gaffal has been fully mobile and largely free of pain over the past few days. After the hospital stay, during which the doctors wanted to closely monitor the fracture he suffered, the winger will have to take it easy over the next few weeks. Only then can training be resumed. The Linzers are assuming that the downtime will last several months.
