The celebrations were short-lived for Gustaf Nilsson. The Swedish striker celebrated his return to the field with a goal in the Cup, but has already relapsed and will be absent this weekend.
Hard blow for Gustaf Nilsson (27 years old). Absent throughout the month of October with an Achilles tendon injury, the Swedish striker was able to celebrate his return to the Croky Cup this week. Not in the starting XI, but by stepping into the game for the last half hour, during which he scored one of his team’s 6 goals against Belisia Bilzen.
Unfortunately for the FC Bruges scorer, he is injured again. The Latest News reported this Saturday that Nilsson suffered a relapse and is experiencing new problems with his Achilles tendon. He will miss the trip to OHL this weekend.
According to the Flemish media, even the home match against Aston Villa in the Champions League is uncertain for Gustaf Nilsson, who has already missed the two previous matches, at Sturm Graz and AC Milan. Nilsson could be rested to return after the international break.
This season, the Bruges striker has played 12 matches in all competitions, scoring 4 goals and providing 4 assists. He has adapted quite well after his surprising transfer from Union Saint-Gilloise last summer.
A second absentee is also mentioned by The Latest News : Joaquin Seys, slightly physically overloaded and therefore left out for this weekend’s meeting against Louvain.
