AIK Stockholm have been dealt a major blow ahead of their Europa League clash with Celtic with star striker Tarik Elyounoussi suspended for the first leg.
The Scottish champions face a tricky tie against the Swedes in the play-off round next week, following their Champions League elimination at the hands of CFR Cluj.
But AIK's task will be made more difficult after 55-times Norwegian international Elyounoussi was ruled out of the tie after collecting a booking in their win against Sheriff Tiraspol.
Elyounoussi said: "It's a massive disappointment to me because I would have loved to have played at Celtic Park .
"It's a real punishment, but there's nothing I can do about it now. In future In will have to calm down my temper a little."
Former Hoffenheim star Elyounoussi has netted 17 goals in 36 starts for AIK since he joined them last year from Qarabag.
