Nottingham Panthers defenceman Cooper Zech will be out for an extended period of time with a lower-body injury.

Zech picked up the injury during the first period of Saturday's 4-3 victory over Guildford Flames in the Challenge Cup at the Motorpoint Arena.

Panthers Lead Sports Therapist, Laura-Jo Bowler, said: "Cooper was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre on Saturday night and then had an appointment with a specialist today.

"His fitness will be monitored closely and he will have a follow-up appointment to assess how his recovery is progressing."

Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "This is, of course, such disappointing news for Cooper and we will support him in his recovery.

"We are currently assessing the market for a replacement defenceman and will keep fans updated when there is any firm news to report."
