Skiing star Marco Odermatt is sidelined for the start of preseason preparations after the Swiss team reports he has a minor muscle injury. The team says Odermatt experiences pain during a physical training session and that subsequent exams confirm the injury.
As a result, Odermatt will not travel to Chile with the squad for a preseason training camp planned for next Monday. The Swiss team statement indicates he is currently recovering rather than joining group training.
Both outlets frame the development as a short-term setback ahead of Odermatt’s World Cup campaign, including his continued pursuit of his sixth consecutive overall title. No additional details on the exact muscle affected or a timetable for his return are provided in the available reporting, and the reports focus primarily on his immediate absence from the Chile camp.
