Why Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof was substituted at half-time of Turkey vs Sweden

Sweden boss Janne Andersson has allayed United's injury fears over defender Victor Lindelof.

The 24-year-old was substituted at half-time during Sweden's 1-0 Nations League win in Turkey on Saturday night.

But Andersson has confirmed that Lindelof felt unwell and that was the reason he couldn't finish the game, being replaced by Filip Helander.

"Victor did not feel well but he finished the first half," Andersson said. "Then Filip came on and did not make a mistake, so Filip played very well."

After the game Helander himself said Lindelof had been suffering with a cold.

Andreas Granqvist told Swedish newspaper SportExpressen: "I think he (Lindelof) felt a little bad before the match and felt a bit dizzy when he started.

"He felt drowsy and without energy and could not continue."

The fact Lindelof was feeling unwell and wasn't withdrawn through injury will be a boost to Jose Mourinho, who has selected him alongside Chris Smalling for United's last six fixtures.

Sweden conclude their Nations League campaign with a fixture against Russia in Stockholm on Tuesday night, where a win would see them promoted to League A, while a draw or a defeat would see Russia go up instead.
