On Thursday, HV71 announced that head coach Lucas Frey is leaving his assignment for personal reasons.

Now the Expressen club confirms that the reason for the sudden dropout is that he has suffered a serious eye injury. The accident should have happened in connection with a training two months ago when a blow to Frey's one eye should have hit the accident.

- Even today, two months later, he has not regained his eyesight, but has still severely impaired vision. In addition, he has also been suffering from a severe migraine that made him feel very bad, and the two things made him unable to stand in the coach booth, HV71 general manager Peter Ekelund told the newspaper.
