It was in Sunday's meeting in the Swedish Cup between Hammarby and Häcken that the accident occurred.
Häcken's Bénie Traore tried to twist the ball by Hammarby's Jeppe Andersen, who in turn hit Traore badly when he tried to get rid of the ball.
The Häcken player was carried out on a stretcher a while later and on Monday the news came that Traore had suffered a broken leg.
An injury that means he will be gone for six to eight months.
- He has suffered a serious lower leg fracture - an injury that is expected to heal and heal, but that it takes time.
The expectation is that he will be gone somewhere for six to eight months, says Häcken's doctor Henrik Eriksson to the club's website.
Sports director Martin Ericsson opens to recruit a replacement:
- In this situation, our thoughts go first and foremost to Bénie and the hope of a speedy recovery.
It is very sad, and almost a little unreal, that in a short time we have had two serious fractures on prominent young players.
We think we have a strong squad but currently have an internal dialogue to see if and if so how we choose to act in view of the injury Bénie sustained yesterday, says Ericsson.
