A new heavy blow for the already badly hit Sävehof:
The league’s best player, Elias Elefsen Skipagoto, has undergone knee surgery and will be out until February.
A fatal blow to us, says coach Michael Applegreen.
Sävehof’s injury problems this fall seem to never end.
Now comes the heaviest blow ever: superstar Elias Elefsen á Skipagötu, who was recently named the best player in the league by the players themselves, had knee surgery today and won’t be back until the series starts again in February after the World Cup. rest time.
He’s had problems with his knee since the U-20 World Cup this summer, and now a piece of bone under his patellar tendon has to be removed. Skipagötu was recently completed for German Kiel starting next season.
– It’s heavy on bullets – and a killer blow to us as a club. After all, we’re building our club on investing in youth and capitalizing on the last year in the decade, if that’s good for us, so to speak. So, it’s so heavy that when we now want to harvest that fruit, he’s gone for half a year, says coach Michael Apelgren.
“You can’t just call it bad luck.”
This year, Safhov was wounded at a height of nine meters.
We had three nines in the middle and two in the last game. Many of them we are familiar with: Skipagötu, William Andersson Moberg, Olle Ek, Emil Berlin, Gzim Salihi.
AIK, Berlin and Skapagoto have long-term injuries, while Anderson Mauberg and Salehi will be able to play very soon, perhaps already in the very difficult first game of the Europa League against France’s Montpellier at home tomorrow.
– It’s hard for us now. It’s high, headwinds, and sun clouds, says Apelgren.
Will you work on the recruiting front?
– I don’t think we’ll do that right now. We simply have to get better at getting people onto the field. It’s been like this for a long time to us, as we have too many players. We can’t just call it bad luck year after year. We have to think about training plans and everything like that. He says what do we need to change.
