Robin Olsen is ready to play against Mjällby. This comes after the goalkeeper was attacked by Djurgården substitute Leon Hien after the top match between Djurgården and Malmö FF, according to major media reports. Olsen was substituted at halftime in the last match against Halmstads BK, and he had a cramp issue after being substituted, according to other sources.

It remains unclear what specific thigh problems Olsen had, and whether they are fully resolved. Olsen's substitution details and health concerns have been a focus for the team. The goalkeeper was substituted at halftime in the last match against Halmstads BK, and he had a cramp issue after being substituted, according to other sources.

This incident has raised questions about his fitness, but the team has confirmed his availability for the upcoming match. 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, according to other sources.

Whether he will actually start or play in the match against Mjällby is still uncertain, as the coaching staff evaluates his integration into the squad. Training absence and injury updates for other players add to the team's challenges. Busanello was absent from training, according to other sources, though the exact nature and severity of his absence is not specified.

Malmö FF has several injured players: Adrian Skogmar, Jens Stryger, and Gentian Lajqi, according to other sources. How long these injured players will be out, and when they are expected to return, has not been disclosed by the club. Otto Rosengren is in training but has missed recent matches with a foot injury, according to other sources.

His participation in full sessions indicates progress in his recovery, though his match fitness remains to be assessed. The team continues to manage a growing injury list ahead of the Mjällby fixture. Disciplinary or legal consequences, if any, resulting from Leon Hien's attack on Robin Olsen have not been announced, leaving that aspect of the incident unresolved.

The focus for Malmö FF remains on preparing for the match, with Olsen's readiness providing a boost despite the recent disruptions.
