Hammarby IF has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Swedish Cup, where they will face Djurgårdens IF. Nikola Vasic, a 34-year-old forward, did not play any competitive minutes during the cup group stage. In interviews, Vasic reportedly said he is not angry about being left out of the squad, attributing it to high competition among three forwards who are all scoring goals.
He stated he has a good dialogue with coach Kalle Karlsson and remains calm, expecting to get his chances as the season progresses. Vasic recently played 90 minutes and scored in a training match against Brommapojkarna, which he hopes strengthens his chances for the upcoming quarterfinal, though he does not believe he will start.
