The club manager Jörgen Martinsson admitted that communication failure between them and the player’s agent was the problem over the issue.
“To make a long story short, there has been a failure in communicating internally with us and Bangura’s agents,” Martinsson said and hope the matter will be resolved before next week’s league match.
“We have been told now that the Immigration Service has opened a case and he will most likely be ready to play in the match against Jonkoping next weekend.”
However, the relegation battling club will face the Swedish FA disciplinary committee punishment which is losing three goals and a SEK 25,000 fines ($2,967).
Martinsson is not worried that the club will be punished. “It is regrettable what happened. But there is rarely a team penalized for such an event, “he said.
