Before the season, Djurgården reinforced the squad with Danish striker Maria Hovmark. The 20-year-old, who came from Bröndby, signed on for two years.
But the Danish could barely start in his new club before the accident occurred. In her first competition match, cup change to AIK last Saturday, she went on a slap and was led by plan - now it has been established that it is a cross band injury.
For Hovmark, this is the second time she has just injured the cross band.
- I'm sad, crushed and feel completely empty right now. It's hard to describe the feeling in words that I will be away from games for so long. But all obstacles in life are to be overcome I will be positive, fight my way through this and come back even stronger, says Hovmark to Djurgården's website.
