With the help of his teammate Dave Sutter, Marcus Sörensen had to leave the ice against Langnau on Tuesday evening.

Last Saturday, Friborg agreed to early release Matthias Rossi from his expiring contract. The winger signed a contract with Langnau until the end of the season. As luck would have it, the two teams met on Tuesday night. The game was quickly decided: the SCL Tigers were leading 5:0 after just under 15 minutes.

While the final result was certain, the nightmare for Friborg was not yet over. Things got even more dramatic when Marcus Sörensen (30) was only able to leave the ice on one leg in the 45th minute with the help of his teammate Dave Sutter. The agile Swede had been hit a few moments earlier. Ironically by Rossi.

It was a completely unintentional but potentially fatal knee-to-knee contact. Sorensen never returned to the ice. Bitter for the former San Jose Sharks forward, who broke his hand in a Champions League brawl and missed the start of the National League season as a result and only really got going in January.
“He will be examined on Wednesday,” said Christian Dubé. The Gottéron boss admitted he was worried about his Sweden striker but didn’t want to prejudge the diagnosis. “Sometimes you get surprised,” he explained. “It can look bad and the next morning it’s a little better.”
“I didn’t see him coming”
In the Langnauer cabin, a happy and at the same time sad Matthias Rossi gave information. “I didn’t see him coming,” said the 32-year-old about the scene. “We crashed knee to knee, but at no point did I intend to hit him.” A credible statement based on the video images.
On Saturday, Sörensen and Rossi, who had played for Friborg for six years, were sitting together in the same dressing room. “I found out over the past week that a change is pending,” explains the Aargauer. “Everything was settled before the games at the weekend, but I still played against Zug because Raphael Diaz was injured.”
