Sven Bärtschi injured in first game of World Championship

The 21-year-old forward, who played his first game for the Swiss national team today, has suffered an upper-body injury and had to be taken to the hospital. It is not yet clear how severe his injury is but head coach Sean Simpson is not very confident: "It does not look good."

Soucis pour Sven Bärtschi. "Ca n'a pas l'air bon", selon Simpson. Il n'est pas réapparu pour une blessure au haut du corps. Il est à l'hosto
