"Markus has a little rust, but he really wants to play," Scandella explains. Nevertheless, the Finnish defenseman won't be in Ambrì's lineup on Friday against Zug: "We want to give him a little time to fit in our schemes."

In addition, Diego Scandella also confirmed that Markus Nordlund will stay with the Biancoblù until Christmas and "then we will see wether to extend the agreement." (tme)
