Hard work ahead
The Allsvenskan top scorer in 2002, Skoog – who turns 31 next Wednesday - has a swollen and infected knee and will not be able to undergo surgery until next month. Skoog said: "I was prepared for the worst. It's just the way it is, and all I can do is work hard to get back to action as soon as possible."

Champions League campaign
Swedish champions in 2004, Malmö will enter the 2005/06 Champions League in the second qualifying round. The draw is made in Nyon on 24 June with the first leg in the final week of July.
