Latvia's men's hockey team faces concerns over player health before their match against Sweden, with one player ill and another recovering from a concussion.
As Latvia's men's hockey team prepares to play Sweden in the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina, head coach Harijs Vītoliņš emphasized the need for the team to disrupt their opponents' game. The match is scheduled for 22:10 Latvian time. However, the team faces challenges with the health of two players, Rudolfs Balcers and Jānis Jaks, who were absent from morning practice due to health issues. Balcers is currently ill, and his ability to participate in the match is uncertain, while Jaks is recovering from a concussion he sustained in a previous match against Denmark.
