Tottenham midfielder Lucas Beribal has been excluded from the national team due to the aftermath of the concussion.
Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 15th (Korea time) "Lucas Berikbal was forced to be excluded from the Swedish national team due to the aftermath of the concussion he suffered against Chelsea"
Beribal was replaced by a concussion in the English Premier League (EPL) match between Tottenham and Chelsea on the 2nd. Beribal collapsed on the field when he was hit in the head by a ball cleared by his opponent. After that, he refused to replace it, but the team doctor left the stadium because he thought he could not play. Beribal then continued to miss his team's game.
Earlier, Swedish media described Veribal as having `raised the white flag' ahead of the FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Switzerland.
The Swedish team said in an official statement that `Verival cannot play in two matches for the team due to the concussion he suffered in a league match between Tottenham and Chelsea.'
The news could also be another hit for Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, who is already facing a difficult schedule without several key players. Currently, Tottenham has a total of 12 players left due to injuries.
Tottenham showed a disastrous performance in the league with an injury ward under coach Enze Postecoglou last season. Coach Frank was in a similar crisis.
"Postecoglou was criticized for his injury when he was Tottenham manager, but the current situation seems to prove his difficulties at the time," the media said. "The upcoming schedule is particularly burdensome for Frank." As soon as the players return from the A-match, Tottenham immediately face Arsenal." "Three days later, there will be a Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)," he added.
Both games are very important schedules for Tottenham, and the current injury situation makes their chances of winning a match slim. From Frank's point of view, we can only hope for Beribal's quick return.
