Sweden boss Andersson warns Man Utd: Lindelof back injury serious | OneFootball

Sweden boss Janne Andersson has warned Manchester United over the workload of Victor Lindelof.

Lindelof returned to United after the international break and played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 win over West Brom on Saturday evening.

That followed on from his two appearances for Sweden during the international break, while carrying a back injury, when he featured for the full game against Croatia and was withdrawn after 66 minutes against France.

“He basically plays Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday and so on, for as long as he wants," Andersson told Fotbollskanalen.

"And he had hardly any leave at all between the seasons now.

“That not more players have injuries… I am surprised. I am also surprised that there has not been more discussion and reasoning about it from a sporting and medical perspective.

"This is extremely tough for the players. And it's not like they play against bad teams. These are very tough matches all the time.

“I really hope Victor can get his back in order. Injured players… it's not fun. If he gets the chance to fully recover, we will see in the future."
