The newcomer Mjällby belongs to the multitude of all Swedish football clubs who have chosen to short-term their players, in order to reduce their salary costs during the current corona pandemic.

Many people have taken it well, but others have not been as happy about having their income reduced - something that has caused sports head Hasse Larsson to react.

- To 99 per cent the players take care of it but then there is always someone who only looks after their own and can not see the whole or what the association needs, it is always so, he tells Fotboll Direkt.

"I ask them to go to the forest," he adds, half seriously and half jokingly, according to the football site.

Although the virus has not yet gained the same foothold in Blekinge, such as Stockholm, the economy is strained in Mjällby due to the deferred Swedish schedule.

- Obviously it must not last forever, but I think we would be able to do the whole season if it was so thanks to the layoffs. Then this will become noticeable, so it is, says Hasse Larsson.

In addition to Mjällby, the following clubs in allsvenskan have short-term players and leaders: AIK, Falkenberg, Häcken, Elfsborg, Hammarby, IFK Göteborg, IFK Norrköping, Kalmar FF, Mjällby, Örebro, Östersund, Helsingborg and Varberg.
