Måns Lindbäck is progressing through rehabilitation following a knee ligament injury sustained last December. The forward, who plays for Södertälje SK, spoke about his recovery and the club's ambitions.
Lindbäck tore his ACL during a match against Östersund in December, ending his season. He is now following a daily rehab program with the club's physiotherapist and remains on schedule.
He described the injury as an accident after another player landed on him. Lindbäck said he quickly realized something was wrong when he could not stand up on the ice.
The player is unable to train with the team this summer but has appreciated extra time with his family while his partner is on maternity leave. He targets a return in December.
Lindbäck expressed confidence in SSK's squad for the upcoming season, noting the addition of skilled players and the team's depth. He hopes the club can compete at the top and reach the playoffs again.
