Örebro is in the penultimate place in the Allsvenskan - and tomorrow an important match awaits against a Halmstad that is in the position above: negative qualifiers.
There is a difference of ten points between the teams and for Närkelaget, three points is a must.
But before the fight, there are big worries.
The list of damages is long.
Really long.
There are team captain Nordin Gerzic, Daniel Björnquist, Martin Broberg, Ahmed Yasin, Dennis Collander and Kevin Wright.
Goalkeeper Mergim Krasniqi will also miss the match due to illness.
ÖSK's coach Marcus Lantz admits that he does not know what the starting eleven will look like.
- It will be a chore to get the team together.
There are five players from the starting eleven against Degerfors and a total of eight potential starting players who have been gone since Monday, Lantz says to NA.
Quartet suspended
The absence does not end there.
As many as four players are suspended and it is about Michael Almebäck, Andreas Skovgaard, Richard Friday and David Seger.
- I have not been a coach for very long, I have been for eight years, but even as a player I have never experienced anything like it.
The squad will include players Johannes Danho and Filip Ivarsson, born in 2004, against Halmstad.
The anxiety meeting with Halmstad will be played tomorrow, 19.00.
