- Albin has suffered a thigh injury, he is being examined today and will in the near future go home to Sampdoria, says assistant national team captain Peter Wettergren at today's press conference.
Albin Ekdal left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 68 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead.
Immediately he was hit, sat down on the grass and showed with gestures that he could not continue playing.
The jump-in lasted only a few minutes and the national team captain Janne Andersson had to change his plans.
These included not to wear more than necessary on Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
But Zlatan had to continue for another close to ten minutes while Mattias Svanberg took Ekdal's place.
