Arnór Sigurdsson's Ongoing Struggles at Malmö FF

Arnór Sigurdsson continues to struggle for playtime at Malmö FF amidst team challenges.

Key Points

  • • Sigurdsson has only four starts this season despite being a significant signing.
  • • He has been fit since July but missed the last two matches without explanation.
  • • Coach Rydström sees potential in Sigurdsson, drawing parallels with another player's challenges.
  • • The team is focused on Europa League qualification after a recent victory.

In the midst of Malmö FF's ongoing season, Arnór Sigurdsson is facing significant challenges as he has made only four starts despite being a notable signing. Coach Henrik Rydström acknowledges the player's struggles but expresses confidence in Sigurdsson’s potential for growth.

As of now, Sigurdsson has had a frustrating year, with injury issues hampering his performances earlier in the season. Although he has been fit and training since July, he was not included in the squad for the last two matches, where the team made various attacking substitutions. This situation has left Sigurdsson to reflect on his role, admitting, "I want to play and help the team even when it’s tough. Everyone wants to play." His limited playtime has made it difficult for him to find rhythm in his game.

Rydström noted that Sigurdsson's experience is reminiscent of that of Sead Haksabanovic, who found success after a slow start. The coach emphasized that there is a long-term plan for Sigurdsson despite the competition for offensive spots within the team.

Overall, as Malmö FF focuses on qualifying for the Europa League after a recent victory against Halmstads BK, Sigurdsson remains determined to prove himself and contribute effectively to the team's ambitions.
