The Swede striker in his own way had stated that he will make a comeback being even more stronger than ever before.

“I will go through this like everything else and come back even stronger. So far I played with one leg so it shouldn’t be any problem. One thing is for sure, I decide when it’s time to stop and nothing else. Giving up is not an option. See you soon.”, he said.

Medical professionals who helped to nurture him in the rehabilitation process stated that this was highly unimaginable that a 36 year old showed such speedy recovery after a gruesome injury.
