The timing for an injury is never good but this time it may be extra bad, at least for the Swedish Confederation, Janne Andersson, who on Wednesday will take out the European Championship qualifier for the matches in early September.
Augustinsson has been Janne Andersson's first choice in the left-back position, but with his knee on the operating bench as late as Monday, as German media reports, it will be difficult for him to be resold to September 5, when Sweden plays against the Faroe Islands and three days later against Norway.
Not only that. Martin Olsson is also injured and Niklas Hult has been slightly injured. The question now becomes who Andersson will use as a left back.
