During Monday, Peder Fredricson is still in the hospital and his wife Lisen Bratt Fredricson is with him. The wife gives an emotional message about her husband’s condition, while the Swedish people keep their fingers crossed that everything will go well.
– He is injured in the neck, but the X-ray showed that there is nothing broken. But it is ligaments, tendons and other things that they will check with MRI today, she tells SVT Sport.
– Otherwise, he is awake and of course in a lot of pain. He talks and obviously has a lot of painkillers.

Nice message
More examinations must be done to determine whether an operation will be needed and how long Fredricson will have to remain in the hospital.
– It could be anything from being allowed to go home to him needing surgery, we don’t know yet, says Mrs Bratt Fredricson to the TV channel.
