Man Utd defender Lindelof to risk back injury for Sweden

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof is willing to play injured for Sweden.

Lindelof has hinted that he will battle through the pain barrier to play in Sweden's upcoming two games. He is currently on international duty with Sweden as they prepare for Nations League fixtures against Croatia and France.

He told Fotbollskanalen: “The back feels OK today. I've been having problems for a few weeks. I've struggled through the matches there's been.

“It's nice that I got a few days off now where there has only been treatment and I really tried to rest.

“It felt good in training today. Hopefully there should be no problems. If they want me to play, I will try to play and see how it feels.

“Then after that, we will see how the back will be."
