Arnor Sigurdsson is one of IFK Norrköping’s biggest stars.

But the Icelander did not play against Varbergs Bois.
NT reported before the meeting that Sigurdsson underwent rehab this week and would probably be able to play. But he wasn’t there.

Why?

Coach Glen Riddersholm didn’t quite answer the question, but he did offer a joking response when Sigurdsson’s name came up.

– Now I’m completely surprised. I didn’t expect you to ask that question, he said on Discovery+.

Riddersholm continued:

– No I’m joking. It’s clear, he’s a profile. But what we are trying to build here in Norrköping is not about one player. We have other players who have to step up today.

At half-time, with a 1-0 deficit, IFK Norrköping’s centre-back was forced to leave after receiving a blow to the head in the first half. Niklas Gunnarsson replaced him.
