Stryger Larsen stays, Ekong faces surgery

Stryger Larsen extends to 2027

Jens Stryger Larsen has signed a new deal with Malmö FF through 2027 (2) (3). The Dane put it simply: "I love the atmosphere and the environment at the club" (3). No drama, no drawn-out saga. Your most experienced defender is staying.

Ekong needs surgery, Hajduk move off

Emmanuel Ekong's transfer to Hajduk Split has collapsed, and now the winger faces time out for an operation (1). He was already left out of the squad for the 2–2 draw at Kalmar on Monday. The club confirmed the news without giving a return timeline (1).

The Kalmar hangover

Malmö sit 6th with 20 points from 13 matches after that chaotic 2–2 at Kalmar. Noah Åstrand John and Adrian Skogmar got the goals, both equalisers after falling behind twice. Johan Dahlin started in goal ahead of Robin Olsen and was seen in a heated exchange with injured defender Pontus Jansson after the final whistle. Manager Gaute Helstrup called the performance sloppy, and the league table backs that up: fifth place is right there, but the consistency is not.
