Sjöstrand out for the season with ACL injury
Oscar Sjöstrand's season is over. The Malmö FF winger tore his anterior cruciate ligament in Sunday's 4–0 win against IFK Göteborg and will not return until 2027 (1) (3).
Sjöstrand went down during the match and scans have now confirmed the worst-case scenario. A cruciate ligament injury means surgery and a long rehab. The club is targeting a comeback next year (3).
This is a real blow to your team's attacking depth. Sjöstrand had established himself as an important wide option and now Helstrup has to manage without him for the rest of the campaign (1).

Taha Ali confirmed to PAOK

"After three and a half fantastic years, it is time for me to say goodbye," Ali said in a statement on the club's website (2).
The 26-year-old scored the goal that sealed the 2024 league title and leaves with just over six months remaining on his contract (4). Between Ali's departure and Sjöstrand's injury, your team is suddenly light on the wings.
Fan reactions
