Alpine star Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is missing the season. The Norwegian must undergo surgery after being affected by an infection.
In July, I got a shoulder infection that led to some complications. After ten weeks of antibiotics, I need another operation to fix my shoulder to 100 percent, he says.
The 32-year-old had a nasty crash in the World Cup downhill competition in Wengen on January 13 this year. He was forced to undergo several operations and a long training break after injuries to his leg and shoulder blade, among other things.
Aamodt Kilde will therefore also miss the World Championship in Austria.
The alpine season kicks off this weekend, with competitions in Sölden, Austria.
