Wilhelmsson Out Of Euros For Sweden

Filed under: Injuries, Sweden

Christian Wilhelmsson

Sweden’s other winger (not Freddie Ljunberg) Christian Wilhelmsson has been ruled out of the 2008 Euros after tearing his hamstring in the dying moments of the 2-nil win over 2004 Euro Champions Greece.

Chippen, who plays for Deportivo La Coruna in Spain and has over 50 caps for the Swedes, will have a three to four week recovery period for the injury meaning there is no way to get back before the tournament ends.

This is a huge loss for Sweden, but hopefully Lars Lagerback can figure out a way to employ a three forward system that sees Ibrahimovic up top alone, with Larsson and Rosenberg underneath.
