Mononucleosis kept Aatos Koivu out for five weeks

A fairly serious condition kept him sidelined, therefore.

Fortunately, he is back and seems to be in full health. He scored a goal in a 2-1 victory.

But to return to his nasty illness, the CH’s third-round pick in 2024 also had a very swollen spleen.

The young man shared this experience with the Finnish media Yle and TVA Sports later picked up the news.

During the last two matches of this tournament, I noticed that I had the flu. I wasn’t thinking about it anymore. However, when I got home after the tournament, I realized that something was wrong. – Aatos Koivu

He returns to play just in time because, with the upcoming World Junior Championship, Finland will reveal its roster in the coming days. Koivu will have a few games to prove himself and possibly secure a spot on his nation’s roster.

One thing is certain, the young man would like to be part of the journey.

In Brief

– It’s not sexy.

– He is not an NHL player.

– Oh really.
