Just before half time in Sweden's Nations League match against Slovenia on Thursday night, Carl Starfelt sat down on the grass and grabbed his left thigh.

After being cared for on the pitch for a while, the Celtic hill was carried out on a stretcher.

Now the X-ray is waiting before he knows if it is possible to continue the collection.

- It does not look very bright.

If you are lucky, the X-ray may not show anything and I can recover in a few days, but right now I do not see it as very likely, Starfelt says to Expressen.

Milosevic also injured

AIK defender Alexander Milosevic replaced Starfelt, but he is also suffering from injury problems.

- I had an operation in the pre-season and have had some problems during the season.

When I came to the national team after the Helsingborg match, it swelled up quite a bit.

That's how it is.

But Janne wanted me in and then you can not say no.

It has not felt great these days to be honest.

But we can only hope that it gets better, he says to Aftonbladet.

The midfield crisis is already big in the Swedish national team.

Regular team captain Victor Nilsson Lindelöf is not in this collection due to an injury and Filip Hellander is long-term injured.

Recently, Marcus Danielsson also announced that he is thanking for continued national team play.

Sweden will face Norway at home at Friends Arena in the Nations League on Sunday 5 June.
