- It is a rupture of the groin that has occurred. It's the same location, the same area, but a completely different structure. Everything is connected, of course, but if I'm to be really honest, this is more than a coincidence, "HIF's team doctor Harald Roos tells the newspaper.

Granqvist has so far only played a short hour of Helsingborg's three matches in the football hall Swede. He missed the premiere against Varberg due to illness and 55 minutes into the ensuing away match against Kalmar FF he was replaced with pain in the groin.

To overcome the injury, he also takes help from the national team's medical team.

“I usually check with the national team doctor every now and then, and I did that now, too. I have worked hard with physics during the long preseason, and felt in very good shape. It's sad that it will be like this when the fun finally begins, Granqvist tells HD.

He doesn't dare say when he can be back on the pitch.

-We'll see. I take it week by week. The main thing is that I get completely healthy, and have no pain left, so I can play at the level I want.
