Klaus Zaugg (Watson) had already reported last week that Andrighetto would not be able to join the Swiss team due to his groin injury. It was not yet certain then, however, whether Bärtschi would be able to play or not. Now, it is clear that both NHL forwards will not be able to join the Swiss team for the upcoming World Championship.
