Chinedu Obasi had to step out of Sunday's derby against Hammarby already after 26 minutes, after receiving two bangs in a short time.

Now it has been found that the striker, who scored eight goals during that season, suffered a lower-body injury that keeps him away from the last six rounds of the Allsvenskan.

- I'm sorry about this message and that it came in this important event of the season, but sometimes life is up and sometimes down. It feels very sad to the club, my teammates and the AIK supporters that I can not contribute more to the plan this year, he says on AIK's website, and continues:

- I always give everything on the pitch, but now I will instead push my teammates at the end of the season and I have full confidence in them. I will work hard to get back in full force, but right now I don't want to talk about the damage anymore.

"Suffering tremendously"

AIK Sports Manager Björn Wesström is saddened by the news.

- We are suffering tremendously with Chinedu now that it has been established that an injury will keep him away for the rest of the season. He will be missing both as a player and as a person in our daily activities. Exactly how and where his rehab business should be conducted, we will sit down and discuss shortly, he says.
