Cancer-stricken Mjällby Coach Back in Full Service

· updated

From next week, Mjällby's coach Anders Torstensson will be back in full service. The news comes less than two weeks after Torstensson was put on sick leave after being diagnosed with a type of blood cancer.

"Anders has now received all test results. He has the form of leukemia (chronic lymphatic leukemia) that was preliminarily diagnosed, but is otherwise symptom-free and without restrictions. Anders will therefore resume his job fully from Monday, September 2, and will also be available to the media as usual", writes the Allsvenskan football club.

During his sick leave, Torstensson, 58, has had a passive role around the team during training sessions and matches. This will also be the case during this weekend's Allsvenskan home game against Halmstad.
