It was in the match against Malmö on November 4 that Friberg got a skate over his leg, and he bled profusely after the accident.

He was then operated on, and forced to rebid the Karjala Tournament.

- It was the thigh muscle, I do not know the Latin name for bounce, but it is the little rascal who goes the furthest.

That muscle was really completely off, torn by the skate.

It is such a blood-filled muscle and when it is cut off, a lot of blood is pumped out.

But he has healed well, and he feels ready, says coach Roger Rönnberg to HockeyNews.se.

Series-leading Frölunda has ten points down to fifth-placed Luleå before tonight's match.
