Swede Larsson Injured: Return to Frankfurt - Sweden’s World Cup hopes dim as injury strikes before key qualifiers
Sweden's football team, currently bottom of Group B in World Cup qualifiers, faces crucial matches against Switzerland and Slovenia. The team is led by English manager Graham Potter, who took over from Jon Dahl Tomasson in October 2025. Potter's contract runs until March 2026, with a potential extension if Sweden secures a spot in the World Cup. However, a setback has occurred with Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson suffering an injury during national team training.
Sweden's current position in the group is precarious, having earned just one point from four matches. The upcoming qualifiers will be vital in determining their fate. Meanwhile, Larsson's injury has cast a shadow over Eintracht Frankfurt's prospects. The 23-year-old, who plays a significant role in the midfield, was injured during Sweden's training camp. He has since returned to Frankfurt for further medical assessment, raising concerns about his availability for the club's upcoming matches against 1. FC Köln and Atalanta Bergamo. Frankfurt, currently seventh in the Bundesliga, would face a significant blow if Larsson is unable to play, given his impact on the team's performance.
Sweden's World Cup qualification hangs in the balance as they prepare for crucial matches. Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt braces for potential changes in their lineup due to Hugo Larsson's injury, which could significantly impact their performance in the upcoming matches.
