Tottenham’s Lucas Bergvall Withdraws From Sweden Squad After Concussion Setback

The 19-year-old returned to London for rehabilitation after a training reaction was flagged in tests coordinated with Sweden’s staff and Tottenham’s doctor.

Overview

  • Sweden’s football federation said Bergvall will miss the national team’s next two matches due to lingering effects from his November 1 concussion.
  • He sustained the head injury early in Tottenham’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea and had already sat out subsequent club fixtures.
  • National team director Stefan Pettersson said there was no hesitation to pull him from camp once the reaction appeared, citing a no‑risk approach.
  • Newcastle United defender Emil Krafth was called up as Sweden’s replacement, with staff noting uncertainty around Gabriel Gudmundsson’s status.
  • His availability for Tottenham’s November 23 North London derby against Arsenal remains uncertain as he continues rehabilitation.
