Elmer Soderblom’s World Junior Championship status is in danger due to another injury

HockeyNews.se’s Mattias Ek and Henrik Sjoberg posted an article explaining that Red Wings prospect and Frolunda Indians forward Elmer Soderblom, who is attempting to return from a foot injury prior to the World Junior Championship, had to leave Frolunda’s Friday practice.

Frolunda coach Roger Ronnberg would only tell Ek and Sjoberg that Frolunda’s medical team will determine whether Soderblom can play tomorrow; Rakapuckar’s Henrik Leman also reported that Soderblom had to leave practice early, and that Soderblom texted that he’s “day to day” with whatever injury is bothering him.

Long story long, Soderblom, who Ek and Sjoberg duly note tantalizes with his 6’7″ size, is battling another injury, and that seems to be the case fairly regularly for the big middle-six forward.
