However Litmanen's two year Malmö FF career was cut short by persistent injury problems. Igor Sypniewski who transferred to Malmö before the club's 2004 title winning season only played eight matches and scored two goals before leaving the club due to personal problems, which led to the club releasing him due to breach of contract.
