Tomas ready to play as AIK scramble for defensive answers

Diogo Tomas says he is ready now

New signing Diogo Tomas did not arrive to wait. "If it's up to me, I'm ready to play," the defender said (1). Tomas joins a backline that just shipped three at home to Örgryte and has nine players on the treatment table. The 21-year-old sounds like he expects to go straight in.

Papagiannopoulos injury: AIK are keeping hope

AIK are not ruling Sotirios Papagiannopoulos out yet. The club says it is "keeping hope alive" regarding the centre-back, who limped off during the 0–3 loss to Örgryte on Sunday (2). No timeline has been given, but with a quick rematch against Örgryte on Saturday, any positive news would land at the right time.

Örgryte again, and fast

Your team face Örgryte again on Saturday, August 8. The last meeting was a 0–3 home defeat that dropped AIK to sixth and put Riveiro under real pressure. The reverse fixture is away. Djurgården await the week after.
