First an elbow and four stitches in the eyebrow, then cut it.
Elias Anderson was not satisfied with the referee’s decision after the Kalmar match.
– It’s absolutely crazy not to have a yellow, red or free kick, he says.
Elias Anderson had to leave the match against Kalmar in the last minutes. He was then elbowed in the head by Nahum Jermai Netapai and then snatched away by Axel Lindahl before Kalmar’s first goal a few minutes later.
However, there was no free kick.
– It all happened there in ten minutes. Those were tough minutes. I could probably buy that the elbow is hard to see, but the wound is totally insane because it doesn’t get a yellow, red, or free kick. It’s completely illogical, Anderson says, and continues:
– I know (elbow) it’s not supposed to be, but when you get it, you want something. Especially at the edge, when the fourth referee is standing there. But it’s about the kidnapping that I’m excited about. It could have been really bad. An eyebrow to be reckoned with, but I don’t want to break a leg or injure a dreaded foot.
Ready on Wednesday
However, it was in his head that Anderson was in excruciating pain after the match and had four stitches in his eyebrow.
– At least I’m alive.
Not a concussion?
– No I’m fine. I think I’ll be ready and running in training tomorrow and I’ll be ready on Wednesday.
As the left back then also?
– Yes I think so. Now Pierre also had a slight injury recently, so I have to go back there.
Djurgarden, who won the match 3-2, has a tough schedule now with a game early on Wednesday again in the Europa League qualifier against Cypriot APOEL.
