Sirius at home, chance to turn the tide
Five league games without a win. That's where you sit right now, 9th with 12 points and a negative goal difference. Saturday brings IK Sirius to Friends Arena, the last match before the World Cup break. It's not just three points, it's a chance to go into the pause with something resembling momentum. Manager José Riveiro has had the squad doing mindfulness and breathing exercises this week to handle the pressure. The table doesn't lie: you need this one.
Yohanna shut down for spring
Zadok Yohanna will not feature at all during the spring, Riveiro has confirmed. The talented attacker was also blocked from joining the Nigerian national team. No further details on the reasoning, but it's a significant absence for a side already struggling to find goals and wins.
Squad moves: Lennartsson and Theocharidis
Off the pitch, the club has been active. Forward Viktor Lennartsson has agreed a deal, and defender Tim Theocharidis is returning to the club. Two additions that signal planning is underway regardless of the current form.
Women's team: Selin shines, Plan worry
The women's side earned a point against Malmö FF Dam, with teenage forward Nova Selin scoring twice. The result was overshadowed by defender Matilda Plan being stretchered off after a worrying incident. The team sits 6th in Damallsvenskan on ten points.
