During the Lindelof match – his wife and children were forced to lock themselves in during a theft incident.

He is now in Sweden with the kids and is relaxing with the family.

“Under the circumstances, we were fine, but for me and my little ones it was traumatic and frightening.”

Victor Nilsson Lindelof followed Sweden and his coach Ralph Rangnik announced during the day that he would miss Saturday’s match.

Lindelof had a long conversation with the coach

– The whole flight from London and I talked to him this morning. We talked for 20-25 minutes and he told me what happened. It was definitely a traumatic experience for him and especially for his wife and children. He feels he does not want to leave his family alone, as a father of two I can really understand. We decided together that he would not be in the match tomorrow, according to the Football Channel.

This is the latest in a series of high-profile robberies by footballers in the UK. In March, Swedish national team goalkeeper Robin Olson was robbed at his home. He was then threatened with knives and knives and forced to hand over valuables.

– This is something we are still working on, we want to put it behind us, Olson said about the event six months away.
