According to Sky Sport’s Ben Heckner, Edmonton Oilers‘ superstar Leon Draisaitl is currently in Munich, Germany, receiving treatment for his lower-body injury from renowned sports doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt.
On Saturday, Draisaitl gave a brief interview during a TV broadcast for a Bayern Munich soccer match, in which he provided an update on his recovery timeline.
“It will definitely take a few weeks,” Draisaitl said. “I hope we go far enough so I can help the team again.”

Draisaitl was ruled out for the remainder of the season last week following a hit from Nashville Predators’ forward Ozzy Wiesblatt in front of Nashville’s bench.
Dr. Muller-Wohlfahrt is best known as Bayern Munich’s team physician from 1977 to 2015, and then from 2017 to 2020. He was also the German national men’s soccer team’s physician from 1995 to 2018. Outside of his work in soccer, Muller-Wohlfahrt most famously treated gold-medal winning sprinter Usain Bolt ahead of the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games.
