Geiger and Pavey back in training ahead of the derby

Geiger and Pavey back in training ahead of the derby

Sunday is coming, and the squad picture just improved. Yannick Geiger and Charlie Pavey are back in full training (1). Taha Ayari, Axel Kouame and Sotirios Papagiannopoulos remain in rehab (1). With Amel Mujanic suspended for the derby and the squad already heavily depleted, two senior names returning is real news.

No Sturehof party this time

Djurgården coach Jani Honkavaara has already shut down any repeat celebration. "We lost the next two fucking matches," he said, referring to the 4–2 derby win in May (2) (3). He admitted he is not sure how smart the celebration was (3). Your team go into this one after the 4–3 comeback at Örgryte, and there will be no extra fireworks from the other side.

Paulson gets one match

Örgryte's Daniel Paulson escaped an extended ban for his red card in your 4–3 win. He misses the Brommapojkarna game this weekend and is back against Halmstad on 22 August (4).
