Miika Koppinen fortunately avoids surgery in the injured knee, and will soon be back on the field.

Just after the match against Vålerenga IF, it was feared that Koppinen was more seriously injured, but now it seems better:
"Miika has a small bleeding around a ligament in the knee. This is not serious, and we have a hope of getting him ready for the Molde match on Sunday," RBK physiotheraphist Vilhelm Stoltz tells local Trondheim newspaper Adresseavisa.

Bjørn Tore Kvarme is also in the clear. As Koppinen, he received a hit to the knee against Start. He could have played against VIF, but the coaches decided upon letting him rest.

Daniel Braaten, on the other hand, will most likely not be ready for the duel against Molde as the old stretch in his leg was worsened during the Vålerenga game. Roar Strand is out for another three weeks due to his knee injury.
