Aston Villa defender Victor Lindelof has sparked major fitness concerns after missing a crucial training session with the Swedish national team.
Training Absence and Medical Condition
The centre-back was notably absent from Sweden's training on Friday, 14th November 2025, casting significant doubt over his availability for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Switzerland scheduled for Saturday. Reports emerging from the Swedish camp indicate that Lindelof is suffering from a medical condition.
Sweden's press manager, Petra Thorén, provided some context, stating, "A little feeling. He works with physiotherapists in the gym." This suggests the player is undergoing separate, indoor treatment rather than participating in full team preparations.
Potter's Pending Update
All eyes are now on new Sweden head coach Graham Potter, who is expected to deliver a definitive update on Lindelof's condition and his potential to feature against Switzerland. This update is anticipated during a Friday afternoon press conference.
The situation leaves Sweden and Aston Villa fans anxiously waiting to learn if their key defender will be passed fit for the important qualifying match.
