#mnwild acknowledge for the first time that Marco Rossi's upper-body issue is complications from having COVID-19 in November. There's no timetable for his return, but he'll return to MN in March.How he was cleared by Zurich, then Team Austria is my big question.

Evason says Dumba is getting evaluated. No update on Dumba or Johansson #mnwild

Sounds like Rossi will be out for the year. He's apparently returning to MN in 6 weeks but I don't really understand why since if it's the comolication we all think it is (mycarditis) he can't do anything physically exhausting until the inflammation goes away or he risks sudden death (according to Google, I'm no doctor).

Colorado absolutely exposed our need for a center. At this point I don't see what we can do. Nobody is going to trade a top 6 center this early, if at all.

#mnwild veteran Marcus Foligno is on the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol list. First Wild player to be added in-season.He’ll miss tonight’s game vs. #avs, meaning depleted Wild without Fiala, Dumba, Foligno and Johansson; I believe Mayhew, Rau, Johnson, Hunt all playing tonight

And the hits just keep on coming. AHL quality roster tonight.

They're bringing him back in 6 weeks to be re-evaluated by our doctors/doctors in the US. Obviously the fact that they gave him that timeline to fly back here means they either think it will begin going away by that point or they want to check that it's not getting worse. If he needs some treatment, it would be better to have us know about it now and be able to give it to him than wait until the middle of the summer/fall when he flies back for development camp and/or training camp.
