Team Switzerland forward Kevin Fiala went down with a horrible injury against Team Canada, and now, Dr. Harjas Grewal seems to have a diagnosis of sorts.
Earlier today, Team Canada defeated Team Switzerland at the Olympics by a score of 5-1 in what some considered to be the most impressive win of the tournament so far.
Unfortunately, it came at a huge cost to the Swiss, as Kevin Fiala went down with a gruesome leg injury following a hit from Tom Wilson.
It was a clean hit, but the two landed awkwardly, which led to a pretty significant injury that had Fiala on a stretcher, face down.
At this time, Fiala has not been diagnosed. Switzerland has yet to make an announcement, although if one thing is clear, his season is over.
Kevin Fiala's diagnosis is severe
According to Dr. Harjas Grewal, a doctor on X who specializes in sports injuries, this could very well bea dislocated hip.
Bo Jackson and Tua Tagovailoa are two NFL athletes who suffered similar injuries, and as it turns out, this is very traumatic to go through.
Concern is a hip dislocation for Fiala
Football fans will remember when this happened to Tua in college and Bo Jackson earlier than that. Issue needs to be dealt with immediately to prevent bone death of the hip bone or ends up like a Bo Jackson situation

The Los Angeles Kings cannot be happy about what they have seen here. Now, one of their top forwards is gone for the season.
This is the risk of sending NHL players to the Olympics. Sometimes, these kinds of injuries happen.
However, the flip side is that we get some incredible hockey. At some point, there has to be a trade-off.
