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.
