Färjestad's Magnus Nygren to Miss SHL Season Opener Due to Injury

SHL gets underway on Saturday. Färjestad will have to start the season without star defender Magnus Nygren. Within the next few weeks, we will evaluate the extent of the injury, says medical officer Mattias Hell in a statement.

It was in the genre rehearsal against Örebro that Nygren was injured. Now Färjestad announces that the 35-year-old back will be away from play for a while.

Within the next few weeks, we will evaluate the extent of the injury and see if it will be a quick return or if an operation is required. Anyway, he is out of play for a few weeks, says medical manager Mattias Hell in a statement.

Magnus Nygren was Färjestad's highest scoring back last season.

Sour of course, but I am cautiously positive and look forward to the "journey", both now and what I come back to, says Nygren.

Färjestad starts the season against Rögle.
