The 27-year-old announced at the beginning of April that he would take an indefinite break from football and IFK Norrköping.

The reason was a malignant cancerous tumor in the brain, he now announces in an interview on the club's website.

In May, Khazeni underwent a successful operation.

“I will never be healthy”

- I'm back on my feet and I don't know if I could have felt so much better than I do considering what I've been through.

I have had to process what happened for a few months now, he says in the interview.

Khazeni was back on the field throughout Norrköping's Thursday training, but outside of regular training sessions.

- I will never be healthy on paper, but I have to think as long as I feel healthy, I am healthy.

He says that he misses football but that it has not been his primary main focus.

When he told about the break in April, Norrköping's supporters responded with a big tifo for Khazeni.

They also surprised him with a fundraiser that resulted in 30,000 kroner for the player.

Something that moved him to tears.

- I have watched every match, and I especially remember that fundraiser.

I was very moved, and I was completely shocked when I saw tenfoot.

I sat at home and had tears in my eyes, everything was so fresh then.

It was a special feeling and I am very, very grateful for all the love I have received.

It has given me extra energy and I am so very grateful.

I haven't always had the energy to respond when people have contacted me, but I have seen what everyone has done for me and I am extremely grateful, he says to the website.

"Take it day by day"

A happy news for IFK Norrköping and football Sweden, but the future is still uncertain for Khazeni.

He describes that after the operation he had a headache, and that the goal every day was to get out of bed and take small walks.

It took a month before he physically felt that he was well.

In fact, it is not certain if he will be able to play football again.

- There is much that is still unclear.

I take it day by day and don't think about when, or even if, I will be able to play football again.
