Blues striker Ben Morris netted his first goal for Swedish loan club GAIS in their 2-1 home victory over IK Oddevold this eveing.

Morris put the Gothenburg club ahead a minute after half-time as they won their opening 2022 Ettan Södra (third tier) match of the season.

The 22-year-old joined GAIS on loan in January and is set to stay with them until November with the Swedish season running through the summer.

Morris, who returned from the second of two cruciate knee ligament injuries last summer, has made one senior start and four sub appearances for the Blues.

Meanwhile, former Blues academy midfielder Marcelo Flores was in Arsenal's Premier League squad for the first time as the Gunners were beaten 3-0 by Crystal Palace this afternoon.

The 18-year-old, who left Town for North London in 2019, was an unused sub.

Steve_ITFC_Sweden added 04:27 - Apr 5 The "Mackerels" from Gothenburg have been quite a distinguished club in their day, including winning the Swedish top division, but now their level is not so high. Still good to see Morris getting game time and looking very motivated after such an unlucky history of injuries. If he got back into the reckoning at Town, that would be something to be proud of.
