There were really disturbing images when defender Gustav Backstrom was hurting in Leksand.
Örebro previously picked up defender Philip Holm with a long-term injury, but he can now come up with reassuring news.
Upon further investigation, it is clear that Gustav Backstrom’s injury was not as serious as we first feared. For now, we’ll assess the injury day by day, says chiropractor and director of rehabilitation Sam Masih.

Jakob Nilsson was left lying down with a knee blow after a leg tackle from Karlstad’s Phil Boca.
The Frölunda striker missed almost all of last season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his knee after joining from Färjestad.
Then it was the left knee and you are the right knee.
– Nothing seems right, unfortunately it is. I suffer with him, it’s very sad. I don’t have a good feeling and he’s very sad, said the deeply moved coach Roger Ronberg after the game.
He was wrapped up tightly and could not support his knee, and now Frölunda announces: “Jakob Nilsson will have an MRI this week and then we’ll know how long he has to stay.”
Färjestad’s Ville Pokka received a match penalty and a two-match ban for a knee tackle.
