Thus, the season looks to be over for Näslund, who was injured when she made a comeback after her previous knee injury.
For the next six weeks, Näslund is forced to walk with crutches.
– It’s a broken leg that needs to heal fully and cope with the enormous loads ski cross involves, and it takes time. Unfortunately, we expect about 10-12 weeks of absence, says national team doctor Jakob Swanberg.
The accident happened in Val Thorens on Thursday in the first race day of the season. Sandra Näslund made a comeback after last season’s injury and it ended with a crash when she led in the final part of the course.
