It was in Sunday’s cup match against Hammarby that the accident occurred for Häcken talent Bénie Traore, 19. He stole the ball in a duel with Jeppe Andersen, who hit Troare badly.
The 19-year-old lay on the artificial turf at Tele2 Arena and screamed in pain. After a few minutes of care, the Ivorian was carried out on a stretcher.
Now Häcken confirms that a broken leg has been found on Traore and that the offensive player will be gone for six to eight months.
– He has suffered a serious lower leg fracture – an injury that is expected to heal and heal, but that it takes time. The expectation is that he will be gone somewhere six to eight months, says BK Häcken’s doctor Henrik Eriksson to the club’s website.
The operation went as planned and Traore now sends a greeting to everyone who heard from him and supported him.
– I’m in pain now but I still feel okay under the circumstances. I want to thank you for all the support and all the love I have received and I look forward to coming back even stronger, says Traore on Häcken’s website.
Hisingsklubben’s sports director Martin Ericsson is now opening to recruit a replacement for Traore.
– In this situation, our thoughts go first and foremost to Bénie and the hope of a speedy recovery. It is very sad, and almost a little unreal, that in a short time we have had two serious fractures on prominent young players. We think we have a strong squad but currently have an internal dialogue to see if and if so how we choose to act in view of the injury Bénie sustained yesterday, Ericsson says in a comment.
Häcken lost 0-4 against Hammarby and is thus out of the cup for this year.
BK Häcken suffers with Bénie Traore and wishes him all the best on his way back to the football field 💛🖤# bkhäcken
