The wait is over for Lucas Assadi. After several days training alone, the Chilean midfielder took part in his first formal session with his new AIK teammates in Sweden on Sunday.
AIK celebrated the moment on social media, posting: "The joy when you finally get to have your first training session with your new teammates." Assadi joined the club after AIK announced him as a reinforcement on Thursday, August 27, but a work permit delayed his integration into the squad.
That delay also meant he missed the derby against Hammarby. AIK is scheduled to face Malmรถ on Monday, September 7, although the short turnaround could keep Assadi out of the team.
If he is not selected for that match, his possible debut could come against Vรคsterรฅs on Saturday, September 12.
The joy when you finally get to have your first training session with your new teammates.
