Christiansen near a squad comeback against GAIS
Anders Christiansen could be back in the matchday squad Sunday when Malmö face GAIS (1). Helstrup on the 36-year-old: "It is absolutely current" (1). After the 2–1 home loss to Degerfors on Aug 9, a veteran presence in midfield would help.
Bjørkan: Gaute lives football 24/7
New assistant coach Aasmund Bjørkan describes the daily demand at Malmö (2). "Gaute thinks about football 24 hours a day, 365 days a year," he says (2). The pressing and possession model runs through everything, from the first team to the academy.
The bigger picture
Five home losses in eight at Eleda Stadion. Helstrup already conceded the team are "not good enough for Europe right now." Sunday's trip to GAIS is a chance to steady things before Djurgården visit on Aug 24. Christiansen back in the squad would be a start.
