Injury-Hit Eisbären Berlin Hit Pause as Dea Ruled Out for Weeks

A weeklong international break offers a reset after injuries thinned the roster.

Overview

  • Berlin confirmed newly signed center Jean-Sébastien Dea suffered an upper-body injury and will miss several weeks.
  • Sunday’s 1–4 home defeat to Bremerhaven left coach Serge Aubin saying his team had “nothing to offer” as energy levels sagged.
  • Eisbären sit eighth after roughly a third of the season, a slide linked to a long list of absences.
  • Players have seven days off before group training resumes Monday to prepare for the Nov. 14 away game in Nürnberg.
  • Defensive issues persist despite the addition of Les Lancaster, with 27 goals conceded in the last ten games, makeshift defenders in use, captain Kai Wissmann still out with an Achilles rupture, and Patrick Khodorenko sidelined for the season.
