Lucas Kaufmann and Rui Modesto were both on target for FC Honka, with their goals sinking Djurgaderns.

Why Frank Odhiambo's debut for Djurgardens was delayed

Odhiambo did not have a dream start to life in Europe after his Djrugardens move as he picked an injury just days after joining his new club.

The Kenyan ace is understood to have picked a finger injury at the time and only resumed training days before the Honka clash.

He took to his social media to reveal he had shaken off his injury adding that it "feels good to be back with the group."

The 19-year-old will now be hoping to form part of the starting XI when Djurgardens kick off their season with a home fixture against Degerfors on Monday, April 4.
