LONDON, Dec 17 (AFP) - Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg hopes to begin training again next week, after a brain scan designed to find the cause of his severe migraines showed nothing seriously wrong.
The Sweden international has been so badly affected by migraines in recent weeks he has missed the champions' last two matches and will sit out the third-placed team's trip to Portsmouth on Sunday.
"I went to see a specialist yesterday and had a brain scan, the result of which was normal," Ljungberg explained Friday.
"They confirmed that I have been suffering from a severe migraine attack. The doctor felt the second one occurred because I pushed myself to train too soon after the first migraine.
"If I had rested for longer I wouldn't have had the second attack. I have been told to rest for the next few days and hope to be back in training next week."
