Yohanna blocked from Nigeria, Besara ready for derby

Yohanna blocked from Nigeria duty

AIK have told Zadok Yohanna he's not going anywhere. The club is blocking the midfielder from joining Nigeria's national team, and Yohanna is not happy about it. His response on social media was blunt: "Maybe God destroyed your plans." (1) (3)

The specific reason for AIK's decision hasn't been made public, but this is the kind of situation that can sour a player's relationship with the club fast.

Besara: I'll play the derby with no legs

Hammarby star Nahir Besara has fired a warning ahead of Sunday's Stockholm derby. He's carrying an injury, but says he'll be on the pitch no matter what: "With one leg, two legs or without legs at all, I will play on Sunday." (4)

If you're AIK, you plan for Besara being there. He's Hammarby's most dangerous player and he's clearly up for this one.

Ex-AIK defender heading to Turkey

A former AIK defender is reportedly close to signing for Turkish side Göztepe. (5) The deal is not confirmed yet. A minor footnote in the bigger picture, but worth noting if you follow former players.
