Victor Lindelof had to leave halfway through the best match of the Manchester United season – after his son was brought to the hospital with a serious head injury.
Last Thursday, the Swedish defender would go as an interval under the Europa League collision of the Red Devils with Lyon.
However, he was withdrawn instead, with Luke Shaw taking the place of the 30-year-old.
United finally won the quarterfinals 7-6 on aggregated after a miracle comeback in extra time, with Harry Maguire scored a 121st minute decision maker.
Then said that boss Ruben Amorim said that Lindelof and colleague defender Noussair Mazraoui had been pulled out of the draw for personal reasons.
The wife of the Swede Maja has now revealed that he had to race to his son Francis's hospital after the three -year -old had had a creepy domestic accident.
Maja wrote: “An hour before the [Lyon] The game started, our babysitter called and said they were in an ambulance on their way to the hospital.
“My youngest son Francis had split his entire head open. He had chased his big brother Ted Louie at home and fell in our glass staircase.
“His forehead consisted of two parts. He was in the hospital both Thursday and Friday.
“He had to undergo plastic surgery to put his forehead back together. He was put under anesthesia.
“It is the first time that I have experienced something like this with one of my children.
“It was incredibly unpleasant and not something that I want to experience again.
“The operation went well and Francis is back on the right track. He is a Viking and normal again.
“Everyone was so worried, but he continues his life as if nothing happened.
“The doctors say he will have a big scar on his forehead. But let alone- I'm just glad that things went so well.”
Lindelof returned to the United side as a captain against Wolves on Sunday.
He was picked up immediately after Pablo Sarabia's goal when the visitors won 1-0 at Old Trafford.
