Blair Turgott is away on national team games with Jamaica and Nebiyou Perry has just had groin surgery and will be out for five or six weeks.
These are of course two players who would have been instrumental in the fight to take ÖFK over the relegation zone.
- This is how football is and there is no reason for us to lie down and feel sorry for ourselves.
We work with what we have, says sports director Adil Kizil.
One of Adil's main tasks is to ensure that ÖFK puts a competitive squad on its feet for next season.
Of course, that job will not be easier because it could be the Superettan next year.
In addition, the contracts expire for ten players this year.
Do you feel that the players want to wait to sign until they know if you will stay in the Allsvenskan?
- There's nothing strange about it.
Of course, all players want to play as high up as possible.
But we have dialogues with those we want to keep and we do not discuss anything at all other than that we play in the highest league next year, says Adil Kizil.
