Robin Olsen is ready to play against Mjällby in the upcoming Swedish Cup quarterfinal, according to the club. Olsen was substituted at halftime in the last match against Halmstads BK, with reports indicating he had a cramp issue. Whether he will actually start or is just available remains unclear, and the severity and current status of his cramp are not confirmed.
The goalkeeper's fitness has been a point of concern, but he is now cleared for selection, which could be crucial for Malmö FF's cup ambitions. The new signing Noah Åstrand John could be thrown straight into the action, according to major media reports. Åstrand John was signed from IK Brage this week, but it is unknown if he will make his debut in the match or if his inclusion is merely a possibility.
His potential debut comes as Malmö FF looks to bolster their squad amid ongoing injury issues, and his performance could be key in the quarterfinal clash. In training, Busanello was absent, though the specific reason for his absence and his availability for the match have not been disclosed. Malmö FF has Adrian Skogmar, Jens Stryger, and Gentian Lajqi on the injury list, but the exact nature and recovery timeline for their injuries are not detailed.
Otto Rosengren is in training but has missed recent matches with a foot injury, and his match fitness remains uncertain, adding to the team's selection headaches. After the top match between Djurgården and Malmö FF, Robin Olsen was attacked by Djurgården substitute Leon Hien, according to major media reports. This incident adds to the recent challenges surrounding Olsen's availability and fitness, though it is not expected to impact his participation in the upcoming cup match.
The attack could have psychological effects, but Olsen's readiness suggests he has moved past it for now.
