Argentina midfielder Lucas Toscani joined Delhi SG Pipers’ men’s squad as replacement for German Christopher Ruhr ahead of the upcoming Hockey India League 2024-25 season.

Ruhr was ruled out of the league “due to medical reasons”, as posted by the club’s X account on Monday. The two-time Olympic medallist was acquired by the franchise for Rs 18 lakh.

Toscani was part of the Argentina squad that bowed out from the Paris 2024 Olympics after a loss to Germany in the quarterfinals.

The Argentine won the Pan American Cup (2022) and Pan American Games (2023) with the national team.

A few days ago, Australian defender Corey Weyer was roped by the team in as a replacement for fellow Australian Flynn Ogilvie, who opted out of the league due to personal reasons.
