Granqvist, who was plagued by a groin injury almost the entire last season, had to step off tonight's match in the Superettan against Jönköpings Södra already at half time.
But it should not be about new problems with the groin.
- He has a little back pain, says Helsingborg coach Jörgen Lennartsson to Discovery plus.
That it hurt enough not to get into the second half must be seen as worrying in itself.
The veteran can not afford injuries with only weeks left until the national team captain Janne Andersson presents his European Championship squad.
Instead, the midfielder needs to get match training and a clear message that the body is holding.
Stadsparksvallen is being renovated and Jönköping is playing its home matches in the Superettan at Vapenvallen in Huskvarna for the time being.
Gone felt at home directly in the last round - clear 5-1 against newcomer Vasalund for last season's Allsvenskan qualifier loser (against Kalmar FF).
Helsingborg was another five in a goalless first half that was characterized by struggle and few goal chances between two teams that took each other out.
The match is in progress.
