Russian forward of the hockey club (HC) "Minnesota Wild" Kirill Kaprizov will have to undergo surgery due to injury. This was announced on January 28 by the general manager of the team Bill Guerin.

"Bill Guerin said that Kaprizov's injury - the same one that previously kept him off the field - will require surgery, but will not end the season," Minnesota Wild reporter Jesse Pierce wrote on social network X (formerly Twitter).

It is specified that Kaprizov will need at least four weeks to recover. It is known that the injury has been bothering the Russian hockey player since the end of December 2024.

Kaprizov returned to the lineup on January 24 after a one-month break due to injury. During this time, he played in three games.
