Sweden coach Andersson eases Lindelof Man Utd fears

Sweden coach Janne Andersson has eased injury concerns for Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof.

Lindelof was taken off at half-time of Sweden's 1-0 victory over Turkey in the UEFA Nations League.

But Andersson insists Lindelof has been struggling with illness and he could still feature against Russia on Tuesday.

"Victor did not feel well but he finished the first half," Andersson said on the Swedish defender.

His comments were backed by defender Andreas Granqvist, who scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot.

The Swedish skipper said: "I think he felt a little bad before the match and he felt a bit dizzy when he started.

"He felt drowsy and lacking in energy and could not continue."
