GAIS are in last place in Allsvenskan after four rounds, according to multiple reports. Gustav Lundgren and Kevin Holmén are out for the entire season due to long-term injuries, while Shalom Ekong and Henry Sletsjøe miss the derby against IFK Göteborg due to injury concerns. William Milovanovic was suspended for the Mjällby match after three yellow cards.
On the positive side, Oscar Pettersson is available for selection after illness. Róbert Frosti Thorkelsson has shown significant development recently, according to Holmberg. Holmberg celebrated Thorkelsson's goal against Häcken with a sprint.
Milovanovic told referee Kristoffer Karlsson to change jobs after the derby against Häcken, according to multiple reports. The exact nature and severity of Ekong's and Sletsjøe's injuries remain unclear, as does the status of Jonas Lindberg, Daniel Bengtsson, Mergim Krasniqi, and Lucas Hedlund. It is also unknown when GAIS will secure their first win of the season.
