Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Örgryte will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Match2 Nov 2026
Örgryte are in among the leaders
Position 2 and 22 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.
Player ratings2 Nov 2026
Nobody could get near Rasmus Alm
Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Market2 Nov 2026
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Örgryte they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
Match31 Oct 2026
9 unbeaten for Örgryte
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 9 matches without defeat is a foundation Örgryte did not have in the autumn.
Boardroom2 Nov 2026
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.
Match31 Oct 2026
A 1‑0 win over Sandviken, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

A row about effort at Örgryte
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Benjamin Laturnus was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

A performance of 8.06 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Örgryte will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Successful dribbles: 31. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

It finished 2‑0, and it was Noah Christoffersson’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Örgryte.
The dugout26 Oct 2026
The manager’s verdict
“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Sam Ibrahimovic kept it short after the 2‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.
The dugout26 Oct 2026

Alex Rahm and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Squad19 Oct 2026
Too much change too quickly at Örgryte
10 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Anton Andreasson dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Örgryte told Kenan Busuladžić something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
The dugout12 Oct 2026
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Örgryte, and both men came out saying it was fine.
Market12 Oct 2026
The clock does Anton Andreasson’s negotiating for him
3 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Örgryte could ask drops and the wages Anton Andreasson can ask rise.
Market12 Oct 2026
The name of Noah Christoffersson keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Örgryte say nothing, which says plenty.

Charlie Vindehall 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.

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
