Sweden play down Lindelof injury fears after he's taken off at half-time of win over Turkey

The Manchester United centre-back has become a valued figure at club level and Jose Mourinho will be relieved he only appears to have a cold

Sweden have played down fears surrounding the fitness of Victor Lindelof after he was substituted at half-time of his side's win over Turkey.

The Manchester United defender was taken off in place of Filip Helander after the first 45 minutes of Sweden's 1-0 UEFA Nations League game against the Turks.

However, head coach Janne Andersson reassured fans there is no serious issue with the 24-year-old, with his team-mate Helander insisting his struggles on the pitch were related to him having a cold.
