The 30-year-old midfielder pushed Sweden to the World Cup in Russia with a decisive play-off goal against Italy in 2017. In recent years, however, Johansson has been hit hard by knee injuries and after several years abroad he moved home to Sweden and "Blåvitt" before this season.
In the 2-2 match at home against Falkenberg on Thursday, Johansson jumped in with just over 20 minutes left. Against Häcken, Johansson makes his first Allsvenskan start since November 2014.
The derby between table four Häcken and twelfth IFK Gothenburg starts at 14.30.
