Sjöstrand's ACL scare turned into surgery
Oscar Sjöstrand is operated on for an ACL injury in his right knee (1). The 21-year-old described the moment it happened: "Jag skrek direkt, det var jävligt obehagligt," he said, thinking the knee had popped out of joint (1). That was a cruciate ligament tear, and now the recovery clock starts.
Kurtulus and Busanello back in training for GAIS
Two defenders returned to training ahead of Sunday's trip to GAIS (2). Kurtulus and Busanello are both back, which gives Helstrup options in a back line that has been thin (2). Anders Christiansen joined in two-goal play to step up his workload, and Karabeljov trained wearing a mask (2).
Degerfors' new forward debuted against you
Degerfors signed Karim Boutera to a contract through 2030, and he made his debut in the 2–1 win over Malmö FF at Eleda Stadion (3). They call him "Benzema" (3). Not the introduction Malmö fans wanted from a home match, and not the start Boutera will forget.
Next up: GAIS away
Malmö FF travel to GAIS on Sunday, August 16 at 16:30 (Allsvenskan). After that, Djurgården come to Malmö on Monday, August 24 at 19:00. You sit 9th with 23 points, five home defeats already in the book.
