Swedish international midfielder Kristoffer Olsson, who was hospitalized in February due to a rare brain illness that left him unable to move or speak, has returned home from his rehabilitation center, as he shared on social media. The 29-year-old, who plays for Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland, collapsed at his home on February 20 and was rushed to Aarhus University Hospital, where he was placed on a ventilator.

Medical tests revealed that Olsson had suffered several small blood clots caused by a rare inflammation of the blood vessels in his brain. He was transferred to a rehabilitation center in mid-March to work on regaining his motor and verbal abilities.

"Six months later I'm back home," Olsson announced on Instagram. By mid-April, he had regained his speech and motor functions, and he was well enough to present the SuperLiga trophy to his teammates in late May. Despite his progress, neither Olsson nor his club has provided a timeline for his return to professional football, though he has expressed his intention to play again.

Olsson, who hails from Norrköping on Sweden's east coast, made his competitive debut for Arsenal in 2013. He has since played for Midtjylland, AIK in Sweden, Krasnodar, and Anderlecht, before rejoining Midtjylland permanently last summer after a loan spell.
