Niklas Landin out for six to eight weeks

Niklas Landin returned from the golden olympic experience with knee issues. Since the early precautions and treatment wasn’t enough, Aalborg HB announces https://aalborghaandbold.dk/niklas-landin-foran-operation-og-efterfolgende-pause/that the keeper is waiting for operation, followed by recovery for around two months.

Aalborg has high ambitions in the Danish League and Champions League. Landin´s presence between the posts is likely to be a significant factor for further achievements, but the autumn season won’t play out as the experienced star would have wanted.

Landin´s injured knee requires an operation. The second half in the domestic premiere last weekend will be the 35-year-old´s only appearance for Aalborg within six to eight weeks, reports the club webpage.

– Some may wonder why Niklas played most of the second half in Saturday’s victory over Ribe-Esbjerg, the fact is that with the injury he would be able to play a game for us every now and then. However, it is not a viable solution for either us or Niklas, who we need to have at top level and available for all matches, says club director Jan Larsen.

Niklas Landin:

– Of course, the timing is unfortunate when we have just started a new season in the Men’s League and have several big challenges ahead of us in the Champions League.

– However, there is never a good time to be injured, so although I regret having to sit out for the time to come, I am sure that I will come back strong, mean while I will do everything to support my teammates from the sideline and in training, he says to the club website.

Swedish Fabian Norsten and junior Tobias Bugge was available for Aalborg during the Champions League win over HBC Nantes Wednesday evening.
