# 2018 Stabæk Fotball season

The 2018 season is Stabæk's fifth season back in the Eliteserien following their relegation in 2012, their 22nd season in the top flight of Norwegian football.
The season was marred by several long-term injuries, mostly sustained in pre-season or even the previous season. Moussa Njie missed the first half of the season due to an ankle injury, Luc Kassi due to a thigh injury, and Håkon Skogseid with a hip. Raymond Gyasi broke his leg in late March whereas Steinar Strømnes sustained a head injury in a B-team match.
