The knee: Ismaël Diawara out for 18 days
18 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. IK Sirius lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Match1 Apr 2028
The wait goes on for IK Sirius

Victor Ekström frozen out at IK Sirius
This is not rotation. Victor Ekström has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at IK Sirius is pretending otherwise.

Door shut on Bertrand Fourrier
IK Sirius asked and Sochi said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
