A knee injury of the worst kind for Viggo Fälth
23 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. IFK Norrkoping lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Alexander Lustig faces the questions
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Alexander Lustig after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Adam Bergmark Wiberg asks for a word with the manager
