Good news for Markus Eisenbichler: The World Champion will be forced to miss the home World Cup this weekend in Titisee-Neustadt, but his wrist injury doesn't require surgery.
According to team doctor Mark Dorfmueller, the capsular ligament lesion will be treated conservatively: "A surgery is not necessary, the injured wrist will be treated by immobilization with a splint. Markus has to take a break for a few more days. If the healing process goes normally, he will be able to compete again in Zakopane."
"I'm glad that I don't need surgery and can avoid a longer break. A splint will now be adjusted in order to immobilize the wrist", said the 28-year-old, who is confident that he will be able to take part in the World Cup in Poland from January 24th to 26th.
