It was in the Swedish cup match against Hammarby that Bénie Traoré injured himself after a collision with Jeppe Andersen. Later it was established that he suffered a fracture in the leg, which means that he misses the rest of the season.
The premiere is only a couple of weeks away and now Häcken is looking for new players.
- There is a short time left on the window, but we are looking at offensive reinforcements.
We'll see what that means, but it's somewhere we're looking.
We have quite dynamic players ahead who can play in several positions.
Ibrahim Sadiq (new from North Zealand) has mostly played on the edge, but yesterday he played as ninth and did well.
We look at the balance in the squad and whether it will be a forward, outer forward or a ten we will see, says sports director Martin Ericsson to SVT Sport.
Setback for Jeremejeff
Yesterday came another blow for Häcken.
Alexander Jeremejeff was forced to a substitution after just 30 minutes of play in the training match against Utsikten - which they won 4-3.
It is still unclear how serious the injury is.
- I have not received one hundred percent feedback today.
But I talked to him after the match yesterday and then it did not seem to be a problem, according to him in any case.
We will see here in the next few days how long the absence will be, if there will be any.
The start of the season has not been completely optimal, admits the sports director.
- Of course not optimal with Alexander who has been away most of the pre-season and now Bénie's injury.
It is clear that one might have wanted a different scenario, but we are doing the job from where we are now.
