Victor Lindelof was forced to rush home midway through Manchester United’s Europa League clash against Lyon and his wife has provided shocking details of what happened.
Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof had a serious issue at home that forced him to abandon his team’s Europa League clash mid-match last Thursday.
Lindelof was named on the bench during the clash against French side Lyon, which United won in dramatic fashion in extra time, but he was nowhere to be seen at halftime before it later emerged that he had been granted permission to head home.
Manager Ruben Amorim did not go into details over what happened but the defender’s wife has provided shocking details of what transpired on the day as it emerged that one of their children had sustained a serious injury.
“An hour before the [Lyon] game started, our babysitter called and said they were in an ambulance on the way to hospital,” Maja wrote on social media.
