He was substituted in by new coach Jani Honkavaara in the 79th minute and played right midfielder.

It came as a shock to me at first that I would get to do it, but when I got the call-up, it was just a matter of focusing and doing my best, he says to Aftonbladet.

Alexander Andersson was recruited to Djurgården last autumn in highly publicized forms from BP.

BP claimed that the transfer breached an alliance agreement between Stockholm's major clubs, stating that a player under 15 years old cannot be courted or recruited during an ongoing season, writes Aftonbladet.

The football Allsvenskan begins on March 29 and Djurgården starts at home against reigning champion Malmö FF.
