The knee: Fabijan Petričević out for 35 days
35 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Hødd lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

A fracture rules Jens King out for 21 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Hødd will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Simen Østerud will join Hødd for nothing
The paperwork is done long before the player is. Simen Østerud has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Hødd have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.
