  • Breakdown for Arsenal – had to buy Chelsea socks

  • Marika Bergman Lundin leaves Häcken – ready for West Ham

  • Now comes the explanation for the absence.

    “Now I feel it is the right time for me to share what has been happening lately. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel very well and after some tests it turned out that I had a stroke in the back of my head. Thankfully, I have no permanent damage to my brain or my vision. I have taken new tests and with the help of the club I am on the road to recovery. It has been really tough,” she writes.

    The goalkeeper further writes that she is now very positive and ready for her return.

    “If this year has taught me anything, it’s that I’m strong and I’ll give it my all.”
