Mjällby - Djurgården match moved due to World Cup

The Allsvenskan match between Djurgården and Mjällby at the end of May has been moved because of the World Cup. "The decision has been made on sporting grounds," Mjällby's club manager Jacob Lennartsson told Expressen.

The match, which was supposed to be played on May 31, will be played after the World Cup but has not yet been rescheduled. The reason for the move is the call-up of Mjällby's Elliot Stroud to the World Cup squad.

"But it is also about the overall squad situation, where we already have uncertainty about the availability of several players in the same position. Based on these conditions, we have chosen to use the option available under the common regulations that all Allsvenskan clubs agreed on before the season," says Lennartsson in a statement, according to Expressen.
