Now he is back in training with the team.
– I started training with the team last week and took part in the warm-ups, now I’m almost in full training. I’m still working on the physics, but it feels good to finally be out here with the guys, says Trawally, who has left ten hard months behind.
– It has been very difficult mentally to come to a new club and get an injury like this. But the club has really helped me mentally and supported me in my rehab. It has made it easier. Now I’m just looking forward to playing again so it’s only positive feelings.
“Must fight”
Marti Cifuentes is happy that Trawally is back, but doesn’t expect to be able to take him into the match squad just yet.
– I think it will take a few more weeks. It’s very good for the mood of the squad and for himself because it’s a guy that everyone loves here. He needs a few weeks before he’s back 100 percent, but has been working very hard so it’s nice that he’s back. I think maybe it will be tight in August, but in September I expect him to be back and playing games, says the coach.

However, Trawally himself hopes to be back sooner than that.
– It’s just about continuing to work on fitness. But it won’t be easy. There are very good players so I have to fight to take a place. But the knee is fine and I’m hoping for earlier than September.
