The Zürichsee-Zeitung writes that the 26-year-old Büsser tore the ligaments in his left foot while playing floorball a couple of weeks ago. "I hope that I will be able to return to regular practice in two weeks," the defenseman says. "But we will not force it."

The 20-year-old goalie Kevin Liechti, on the other hand, will be out for a longer time. He underwent surgery on his knee (meniscus) and the typical goalie movements are not yet possible for him.
