Then we get to evaluate the situation after the plaster has been removed,” Djurgårdens wrote on their official portal.Unlike his compatriot Henry Meja who also moved to Sweden recently and has already played and scored in a competitive match, Odhiambo is yet to feature competitively for Djurgårdens at a competitive level and that could take longer as he will be out for the third group game in the cup.The 19-year old joins the Swedish club on a five-year deal.
