Man Utd concern as Lindelof aggravates back injury

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof aggravated a back injury in action for Sweden last night.

Lindelof went into the game carrying the injury and was substituted in the second-half of the defeat to France.

Sweden assistant manager Peter Wettergren said after the match, “He was in a bit of pain after the match against Croatia, but said that he will give everything for the team.

“He was able to train okay yesterday and said 'I'll push as long as possible'.

"He gave me a signal at half time that he would not go the whole [of second] half. Then I told him to shout when it is not possible."
