Ex-Chelsea midfielder Charlie Colkett thrilled Ostersunds back in action

Former Chelsea midfielder Charlie Colkett is delighted knowing the season in Sweden is about to kickoff.

The Swedish government and the Public Health Authority have given the green light for universal football next month.

And Ostersunds midfielder Colkett told the Östersunds-Posten, "I can't stop smiling. It has been a long, long preseason and we are very hungry to get started.

"It's been tough and we've been training for a long time now. But right now we are so hungry and prepared that we just long to get started.

"It's almost surreal and it's hard to imagine what it's like to play these games. It will be difficult for us, but especially for the fans. Hopefully, it won't be long before we can experience it together."
