Victor Nilsson Lindelöf injured – threw away the captain’s armband

It was around the twentieth minute of the match, during a Slovakian attack, that the captain was injured. In the pictures, you can see how he grabs the back of the thigh, but despite that he continued to play until the referee blew.

Nilsson Lindelöf then threw himself on the ground, visibly frustrated, and threw off the captain’s armband while hitting the ground several times. The team’s medical care came onto the field and finally had to lead him off.

Dejan Kulusevski took over the captain’s armband and Carl Starfelt came in instead of Nilsson Lindelöf.

Right now it is 2-1 in the match between Sweden and Slovakia.
