Investigations at the Hirslanden Clinic in Zurich revealed practically identical injuries: A tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, a tear of the medial collateral ligament and a tear of the medial meniscus.

Mettler, overall winner of the European Cup in 2023, will undergo surgery in the coming weeks. It goes without saying that the season is over for the 26-year-old from Toggenburg.
