Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, foreign coaches, leaders and players have begun to leave the clubs in the Russian football league.

On Wednesday, his club Krasnodar announced that German coach Daniel Farke and his three German employees are leaving the club.

According to information that SVT Sport has received, Viktor Claesson is on his way to Sweden, which Sportbladet was to report on.

Claesson's contract with Krasnodar expires this summer, but it is unclear whether the Swede will play elsewhere in the spring or just leave Russia due to the unclear situation.

Airport closed

Krasnodar airport is closed due to clashes in Ukraine.

Viktor Claesson's mother club is the all-Swedish newcomer IFK Värnamo and for five years the midfielder belonged to Elfsborg.

Since Marcus Berg moved home to IFK Gothenburg this summer and Kristoffer Olsson signed for Anderlecht, Claesson is the only Swedish player left in the Russian club.
