The match between hockey allsvenska leader Timrå and Södertälje had barely had time to start when Sebastian Hartmann flew into the rim after a printer by Oscar Eriksson.
The Timrå player had back pain and also "other alarming symptoms" according to the club doctor Christian Johansson and was taken to hospital by ambulance.
The day after the nasty bang came some reassuring news.
After an X-ray, a fracture of the back could be ruled out.
- Fortunately, the spine is unharmed but he has suffered from bleeding in soft parts around the back and right hip.
After an investigation, Hartmann has been able to return home.
The forecast is currently considered good and he will join the squad as soon as possible.
He will probably be relevant for games sometime during the away tour, says doctor Christian Johansson to the club's website.
Timrå will play four away matches in six days starting tomorrow Tuesday.
