IF Troja-Ljungby is set to play qualifiers next week to stay in HockeyAllsvenskan, but the team reportedly has only six defensemen and nine forwards available due to injuries and suspensions. According to Hockeysverige, coach Magnus Sundquist said he does not know what lineup he can field for an upcoming match against Björklöven, prioritizing player health over risking further injuries. Key players like Allan McShane, Tom Hedberg, and others are injured, with Jonathan Wikström expected to miss the rest of the season, and it is uncertain if others will recover in time for the qualifiers.
Meanwhile, VIK is reportedly struggling to avoid the qualifiers after a loss to Almtuna, with coach Carl Jakobsson calling for more desperation in their final matches, according to Vestmanlands Läns Tidning.
