Emil Holm will play no further part in this international window after suffering a thigh injury in Sweden's 2-1 win over Romania in the UEFA Nations League (UNL).

[p]The defender was forced off on a stretcher having gone down under a challenge with around an hour of the match played at Strawberry Arena.[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/holm-emil/ANr5qAci/"]Holm[/a] has heard screaming in pain on the match broadcast, and the initial fear was that he suffered a recurrence of a hamstring problem, but following examinations, it was revealed it was a thigh problem for the right-back, who will now undergo treatment at his club side [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/bologna/0M9xNN8N/"]Bologna[/a].[/p][p]The [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/sweden/OQyqbHWB/"]Sweden[/a] squad has been plagued by injuries since it was initially announced, but head coach Graham Potter will not call up a replacement at this stage, ahead of fixtures with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/poland/2HzmcynI/"]Poland[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/bosnia-herzegovina/fqe7WYTr/"]Bosnia & Herzegovina[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/romania/IaD8jZpU/"]Romania[/a] again.[/p][embed guid="9435d1f7-8bc4-4763-bb84-56ca6b80cf42" url="https://x.com/svenskfotboll/status/2103833933960110386" social-type="twitter" /][p]Considering Holm was scheduled to play a little more than an hour, the timing of the injury is especially cruel: [b]"The idea was that he would play around 65 minutes. When you look at the situation, it doesn't look good,"[/b] said Potter at full-time.[/p][p][b]"It's so frustrating. He's young and has time, but right now there's nothing I can say to make him feel better,"[/b] the Englishman continued.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/soccer/europe/uefa-nations-league/"]Follow Sweden in the UNL on Flashscore.[/a][/b][/p]
