In Saturday’s game against Bayern Munich defender Eric Smith was forced off by a knock just before the end. Subsequent medical examinations have revealed that while the 27-year-old Sweden international has muscle problems he has not suffered a serious structural injury.
Smith was therefore unable to hook up with the Swedish national team and it remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined. The defender is undergoing ongoing treatment from James Morgan and his medical team to return to full match fitness as soon as possible.
