"First and foremost, I still dream of being a football player. To be able to train fully and feel that I contribute to a team. Every week I make progress and I am more hungry and motivated than ever", he says to Midtjylland's website.

It was in February last year that Olsson was struck by several blood clots in the brain due to an extremely rare inflammation in the brain's blood vessels. He was cared for at a hospital in Danish Århus for a while in a respirator before he could be moved to a center with a focus on advanced rehabilitation of neurological diseases.

The 29-year-old Swede will be cheered on on Sunday in connection with Midtjylland's match against Brøndby in the Danish league.
