Lakers' Timo Helbling should be able to return next week

Helbling suffered a concussion due to a hit of SC Bern's Gregory Sciaroni in a game at the end of September. He has been out of the lineup ever since.

As for the other injured players of the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers, Casey Wellman and Matt Gilroy might be able to return before the international break but it will all depend on how smoothly their recovery goes. Andri Spiller, on the other hand, will definitely not make his comeback before the end of the break.
