Manchester United defender Victor Lindelöf left fans puzzled when he abruptly departed at half-time during a friendly against Lyon. It has now been revealed that the Swedish international rushed to the hospital to be with his young son, who had suffered a serious head injury.
According to his wife, Maja Nilsson Lindelöf, their son had “split his entire head open” in a distressing accident that required emergency plastic surgery. She shared the harrowing experience on social media, describing it as deeply traumatic for the entire family.
Lindelöf wasted no time leaving Old Trafford to be by his son’s side, showing that some things are far more important than football. While the club has yet to make an official comment, messages of support have poured in from fans and fellow players alike.
The incident casts a human light on footballers and the personal struggles they sometimes endure away from the spotlight. Everyone at the club—and beyond—will be hoping for a full and speedy recovery for the Lindelöf family’s young son.
