The injury occurred during the match against Brage from a tackle by Alex Mortensen. According to Sportbladet, Tesfaldet Tekie described the incident as potentially severe, noting he felt strength in his leg during the tackle and that initial examinations ruled out a cruciate ligament injury. He expressed gratitude for the support received, saying many reached out to check on his situation.
The exact nature and diagnosis of Tekie's injury, as well as how long he will be out of play specifically, have not been disclosed. Additionally, it is unclear who Alex Mortensen is and what team he plays for, the result of the match against Brage, and whether any disciplinary action will be taken against Mortensen for the tackle. According to Sportbladet, Kalle Karlsson described the situation as positive in hindsight, despite the injury, noting that such impacts can lead to season-ending issues like cruciate ligament damage.
I had luck.
Tekie hopes to be back for the Allsvenskan premiere, while Hammarby will face Örebro in the second round of the cup on Monday.
You never know with that type of impact. That type of situation can lead to a cruciate ligament and then it would have been the whole season. So the feeling afterwards is that it is positive, even though I don't see the injury as positive.
I had God watching over me. It could have ended badly.
That was what I was most afraid of. But I felt when I got the tackle that I had strength (in my leg) and the first examination showed that it wasn't the cruciate ligament.
I appreciate that very much. I am grateful that many reached out and checked on the situation. Then there were many who reached out after the news too. It was incredibly nice to receive that love.
