Papagiannopoulos, AIK keeping hope alive
Sotirios Papagiannopoulos limped off during the 0–3 collapse against Örgryte on Sunday, and AIK are not ruling him out yet. The club says they are "holding hope" he can face the same opponent again on Saturday (4). That would be a significant boost for a backline that looked lost without him.
Nine out, an internal investigation underway
The injury list has grown to nine players. Recruitment chief Miika Takkula is now leading a full review of the club's medical and performance protocols (2). That is not a routine check, it is a signal that the club views this as a systemic failure, not bad luck.
Saturday, straight back to Örgryte
Your team travels to Örgryte on Saturday for an immediate rematch. Three days after losing 0–3 at home to the bottom-placed side. José Riveiro called the performance unrecognizable and took full responsibility (2). The same opponent, a chance to show that Sunday was an aberration, or confirmation that it was not.
