It was during a training session that Edvardsson sustained the injury.

After an MRI, it was then determined that his left shoulder needs surgery, something that is planned to be carried out tomorrow, Tuesday.

Edvardsson's club, TSV Hannover-Burgdorf, says he will be out for several months.

Which means that the World Cup is over in a month.

- First of all, this is very bitter for Jonathan.

He has been in excellent form and has been a major factor in the results achieved so far this season.

We will do everything to give him the best possible medical care, says sports director Sven-Sören Christophersen to the club's website.

Edvardsson was one of the 35 players who were selected for the gross squad for the WC.
