Victor Lindelof's absence during the Memorable Europa League Quarte final of Manchester United in the field of quarterfinals in second place in Lyon in the beginning raised some eyebrows, but the reason why it has now been revealed.
The center was on the couch in front of the Old Trafford Encounter, but had to leave during the break due to a family.
The Swede was back in action on Sunday and Captain the 1-0 Premier League home defeat of the Red Devils by Wolves with his personal life no longer in a state of Flux.
Maja, his wife, Maja, however, explained the reason for his sudden absence in the Lyon match after a painful incident in which their youngest son was involved.
'An hour before the [Lyon] The game started, our babysitter called and said they were in an ambulance on their way to the hospital, “she wrote.
“My youngest son Francis had split his entire head open. He had chased his big brother Ted Louie at home and fell into our glass stairs.
“His forehead was in 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 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 large scar on his forehead. But let alone- I'm just happy that things went so well. '
The Lindelofs have been married since May 2018 and expect a third child together later this year.
However, their future in Manchester beyond this season remains in doubt that Lindelof's contract will expire at the end of June.
The 30-year-old has gathered 277 performances for the club since he was registered in the summer of 2017 from Benfica who won a League Cup and FA Cup at that time.
