Auston Matthews is in Germany to see a doctor for treatment on the undisclosed injury that has kept him out of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ lineup for the last six games.

Matthews decided to go to Germany as it was his preference, league sources told The Athletic.

On Tuesday, Leafs GM Brad Treliving told reporters that Leafs medical director Dr. Noah Forman accompanied Matthews overseas. According to Treliving, no surgery will be required for the injury.

Treliving called the visit “more as a general checkup, but also to get some work done” on Matthews’ upper-body injury. There remains an air of secrecy around Matthews and his injury. When asked, Treliving declined to specifically name the injury.
