Haken’s Danish midfielder Mikel Rigaard will miss Sunday’s league final against Djurgården.
The 31-year-old was withdrawn with a calf injury, then coach Per-Mathias Högmo chose not to leave anything to chance.
– I’m so sorry I can’t help the team, Rygaard tells Football Channel.
Against Varberg, he was stopped, but in the summit meeting against Djurgården, most likely expect Mikkel Rygaard to return at the start of Häcken.
However, this will not be the case. The midfielder was injured during a training session earlier this week and therefore also misses the league leaders Djurgarden meeting.
He sustained an injury in training on Tuesday. Small and small feeling in the calf. We took some pictures of her and don’t want to take any chances. Coach Per-Matthias Hugmo tells Fotbollskanalen that if he smokes for him, the whole season is ruined.
You may miss more matches
According to Rygaard himself, it is a two-week recovery period, which in this case means that even a house meeting with GIF Sundsvall is in danger.
– It’s not good timing, but it is what it is. I hope this game is just what I miss. According to the physiatrist, I can be back in a couple of weeks but hopefully I can recover faster.
The return of the main players
However, the happier news for Häcken is that they have recovered Samuel Gustafson and Shooting League leader Alexander Jeremejeff, who were also stopped last time around.
Mikel Rigaard has scored seven goals and two assists so far this season.
