A new report from the New York Post has confirmed that Rangers forward Filip Chytil will be returning home to Czechia. He will be doing so as he continues to recover from a recent concussion.

Filip Chytil returning to Czechia for �reset' in next step of concussion recovery

Reports have confirmed that Chytil has been back on the ice in recent days in New York. However, he now plans to return to Czechia to be around family and friends to help his recovery.

The decision, reached mutually by Chytil's camp and team hierarchy, will allow No. 72 to experience the next phase of his recovery at home in a familiar environment where he will be surrounded by friends and family.

This unfortunately is not Chytil's first time battling concussions which has placed a bit of a cloud over the timeline of his return.

Rangers Star Committed To Returning This Season

In the report from the New York Post sources indicated that while there is not a timeline on Chytil's return the plan is for him to be back this season. Chytil's injury history is starting to become a bit of a concerning trend in his NHL career so far to this point.

Sources have told the Post that Chytil�who is believed to have sustained four concussions throughout his six-year NHL career in which he has been sidelined for injury 10 different times�has made progress while skating on his own at the club's practice rink over the last four weeks and is committed to returning this year.

The best news from this report is that Chytil is currently on the ice and feeling well enough to begin his process back to playing. Hopefully for Rangers and NHL fans a couple of weeks back home gets Filip Chytil rejuvenated and ready to return and light up the NHL.
