On Thursday afternoon Emil Joensson informed that he would not be starting at the sprint World Cup weekend in Düsseldorf.

He did not withdraw from the race because of the muscle injury he had suffered some time ago but due to overload of the muscle groups around it.

“Emil was checked by medical experts at the hospital in Stockholm and they recommended to put off the start of the season for him to Davos, 11th December. We don’t want to take unnecessary risks. Emil will be fresh and eager to compete in Davos,” Sweden’s sprint coach Arild Monsen explained.
