Ekong's Hajduk move collapses, John gets his first MFF goal

Ekong's Hajduk move collapses after failed medical

Emmanuel Ekong is staying. His loan move to Hajduk Split has collapsed after the winger failed his medical examination (2) (3). Ekong was left out of the 2–2 draw at Kalmar on Monday, with the deal seemingly close. Now he returns to a squad already crowded in attack.

Noah John: first goal, then tears

Noah John scored his first Malmö FF goal in the 2–2 draw at Kalmar and could not hold it together. "I'm an emotional person," he said afterwards (1). The goal pulled your team level after falling behind. "I play like a fan," John added (1). That one will stick.

"In the spring we would have lost this"

The 2–2 at Kalmar was sloppy, but the dressing room found a positive. "In the spring we would have lost this match," a Malmö FF voice told the media (4). Twice behind, twice level, through John and Adrian Skogmar. Gaute Helstrup's side sit 6th with 20 points from 13 games, the form reading L W W W D.

Ekong back in the mix, Karlsson wants out

Ekong's return adds another body to an attack that already has Daniel Gudjohnsen stuck on 183 minutes and zero goals this season. Johan Karlsson has publicly demanded more playing time and hinted at a move. Sebastian Kamanzi is also in the frame. Helstrup has decisions to make.
