From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Mauro Molina

94 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Djurgarden lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

11 seasons of Oskar Fallenius

410 appearances across 11 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Djurgarden know what they have.

Market

Only the photograph left for Ahmed Saeed

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ahmed Saeed will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Djurgarden the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Jeppe Okkels in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Djurgarden this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Erik McCue will join Djurgarden for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Erik McCue has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Djurgarden have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Match

Djurgarden get the job done against Atvidaberg

A 2‑0 win over Atvidaberg, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Oskar Fallenius at his very best

Marked 8.22. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Djurgarden.

Squad

Robin Lindelof falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Djurgarden buy the years ahead of David Baumgartner

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

In brief
