The reigning champion Västerås SK won the premiere in the elite series in bandy when they beat Motala at home with 5–2.
But the victory turned out to be expensive.
VSK star Christoffer Fagerström took a hit in the first half and was forced to break the game.
– Fagerström suffered some kind of visual disturbance after a blow to the chin. I don’t know what that means, but if you get something like that, you have to go to the hospital to check it out properly, says Västerås team doctor Johan Hising to VLT.
Hising says it doesn’t have to mean anything serious, but it needs to be checked out.
– The doctors at the hospital then make an assessment as to whether an X-ray or something is required. The important thing is not to take chances and wait, he says.
