I’m coming forward because I don’t want any more speculation surrounding my team-mates about who was involved and I have always stood up for my actions. I have talked to my club and the police about what in my opinion happened on Sunday night, and I will today file a report to the police about what I believe caused the incident and the way the security staff acted. I have no further comments since it is now an ongoing police investigation.”. His club director of football, Björn Wesström said" It’s never good news when anyone in our club is involved in this kind of matter. I have been in contact with the player and had a good conversation with him in which he calmly gave his version of the story.”
