"Botheim has been medically examined in Malmö on Friday. The result of the examination shows a fracture in the lower leg and an operation will be performed next week", writes MFF on its website.
Malmö has had a bit of a downturn in the beginning of this year's football Allsvenskan – and now comes the next setback.
The Norwegian striker fell in the end of Thursday's 2-2 match between Malmö and Värnamo. After lying in pain, the 25-year-old was carried out on a stretcher and left the arena on crutches.
"A prognosis for rehabilitation time will be determined after the operation", writes the club.
Botheim has not yet scored a goal in this year's Allsvenskan – but scored twelve in last year's debut season with the "sky blues".
