Isak Hien - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Will miss a few months Hien required surgery to repair a torn tendon near his semimembranosus muscle in his left thigh, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Hien got hurt during the World Cup and quicky returned to Italy, as the injury was immediately serious. He'll need three to four months to make a full recovery and will therefore miss time at the beginning of the season. Atalanta will have to turn to Berat Djimsiti, their other defenders and potential newcomers in relief.

Ruled out for remainder of WC Hien has been ruled out for the rest of the World Cup with a hamstring injury in his left leg, the Swedish Football Association announced, with the Atalanta defender set to return...

Impact Hien started all three of Sweden's group stage matches before being forced off in the first half against Japan on Thursday, and his absence is a significant blow ahead of the round of 32 clash against France on Tuesday in New York. Carl Starfelt or Hjalmar Ekdal are the possible option to see more playing time in his spot, with coach Graham Potter offering his and the squad's full support to the defender as he begins his recovery away from the tournament.

Doubtful moving forward Hien (strain) was seen on crutches after Thursday's 1-1 draw against Japan, casting serious doubt over his participation in Sweden's round of 32 fixture, according to Nordisk Suede...

Impact Hien was forced off in the 37th minute after appearing to overstretch for a ball, suffering what looked like a muscle injury in the thigh or groin area. Though the federation has not provided an official update, the sight of him on crutches points to a setback significant enough that Victor Lindelof could drop back into the defense with Lucas Bergvall earning a starting role if Hien is unable to feature again at the tournament.

Off during first half Hien was forced off the field in the 37th minute of Thursday's match against Japan due to an apparent muscle injury.

Impact Hien would stretch for a ball in the first half, and that would lead to his exit, appearing to stretch his leg too far and suffer a muscle injury in his thigh or groin region. At initial glance, the injury does appear to be somewhat serious and could keep him out the rest of the tournament, as anything in the hamstring or groin injury will take two to three weeks to recover from. Victor Lindelof will likely drop back into the defense while Lucas Bergvall earns a starting spot if Hien is out the rest of the tournament. However, they will hope scans will show something less major and encourage a potential return at the World Cup.

JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE

Pair of tackles in loss Hien registered two tackles (two won) and three clearances in Saturday's 5-1 loss versus Netherlands.

Impact Hien made a pair of tackles and three clearances during Saturday's loss. The defender was busy in a one-sided loss, but it certainly wasn't a good performance in a 5-1 defeat. Hien is going to need to bounce back in a big way if Sweden want to win in the third match of the group stage and guarantee their spot in the knockout round.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Logs four clearances in World Cup opener Hien won one tackle and four clearances, one block and one interception in Sunday's 5-1 victory versus Tunisia.

Impact Hien led a fine defensive effort, as Sweden pulled the strings for most of the tilt, but they were unable to come away with the clean sheet because of a collective mishap on a set piece near the ned of the first half. Hien will likely have a key role in the back for the rest of the tournament. He helped Atalanta secure four clean sheets in 38 appearances (27 starts) in the recently concluded campaign.

JUNE 15 • ROTOWIRE

Set to anchor backline Hien has been named in Sweden's World Cup squad and is expected to start at center-back, arriving at the tournament after a solid Serie A campaign that underlined his development a...

Impact Hien posted 49 tackles, 29 interceptions and 102 clearances across 28 Serie A appearances this season, demonstrating the defensive solidity and physical presence that make him a difficult opponent for any center-forward. His aerial dominance, ability to read dangerous situations early and composure in one-on-one situations give Sweden a robust and dependable presence at center-back, and his Serie A experience against some of the best strikers in Europe prepares him well for the demands of a major international tournament. Paired with Victor Lindelof, Hien gives Sweden a center-back partnership that combines experience, physicality and tactical intelligence, and keeping clean sheets against the top nations will depend heavily on the pair's ability to function as a cohesive unit from the first whistle.

JUNE 3 • ROTOWIRE

Serves disqualification Hien completed a one-game ban in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Bologna.

Impact Hien will return against Fiorentina next week and compete with Berat Djimsiti, who pushed through a hamstring injury in this one. Hien has posted at least one clearance in his seven consecutive appearances (four starts), piling up and adding 13 tackles (eight won), six blocks and seven interceptions, with no clean sheets.

MAY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Will sit out Bologna mtch Hien registered four tackles (two won), eight clearances and three interceptions and picked up his fifth yellow card in Sunday's 3-2 win versus AC Milan.

Impact Hien put up good numbers, coming close to his season high in clearances, but the Atalanta defense came apart in the final minutes. He won't be an option for the Bologna game. The coach might have to change the scheme and field one fewer defender if Berat Djimsiti (hamstring), Giorgio Scalvini (ankle) and Odilon Kossounou (thigh) don't recover.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Unused sub in Cagliari match Hien (thigh) didn't play in Monday's 3-2 loss to Cagliari.

Impact Hien was an option after sitting out three matches, but stayed on the bench, as the coach only made offensive-minded subs to try to come back. He'll resume competing with Berat Djimisiti. He has tallied at least one clearance in his last five outings, registering seven tackles (six won), two interceptions and five blocks during that stretch, with no clean sheets.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Bench option Hien (thigh) is on the bench for Monday's match against Cagliari.

Impact Hien has returned from his thigh injury as expected and is ready for the end of the season, as the defender is on the bench Monday. With 18 starts in 25 appearances this season, he has been a regular sight in the defense, although his role has dwindled of late. He should still find some starts here and there in the final few games, although an everyday spot may not come.

APRIL 27 • ROTOWIRE

Available versus Cagliari Hien (thigh) has been inserted in Atalanta's squad list for Monday's bout against Cagliari.

Impact Hien resumes being an option after skipping a month because of a thigh strain and has often rotated with Berat Djimsiti in the middle of the defense. He has notched two or more clearances in his last five outings (three starts), accumulating 12 and logging seven tackles (six won), two interceptions and five blocks during that stretch, with no clean sheets.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with thigh injury Hien has been diagnosed with a myotendinous left biceps femoris strain, Mediaset reported.

Impact Hien could miss a couple of weeks after getting injured while playing with Sweden. Berat Djimsiti and Odilon Kossounou will absorb his playing in the upcoming matches. Atalanta will face Lecce and Juventus next.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Injured on international duty Hien was subbed off with a potential injury during Sweden's World Cup qualifying match against Ukraine on Thursday.

Impact Hien is now questionable for the next games for both club and country, as it remains to be seen if he picked up a major issue. He has started in five of the last eight matches for Atalanta across all competitions, featuring as part of a three-man back line that could be filled by Berat Djimsiti alongside Sead Kolasinac and Giorgio Scalvini if the injury turns out to be serious.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Posts nine clerances in Pisa bout Hien recorded one tackle (zero won), one block and nine clearances in Friday's 1-1 draw versus Pisa.

Impact Hien returned to the XI after three games as Berat Djimsiti (hip) was missing and matched his season high in clearances, but his efforts weren't enough to completely stifle the opponent. It appears that he'll have to fight for minutes under a new coach, but his main competitor is currently hurt. He has logged one or more clearances in his last 10 displays, amassing 36, posting 16 tackles (nine won), eight interceptions and seven blocks and helping secure two clean sheets over that span.

Shows well against Fiorentina Hien registered four tackles (two won), four clearances, two blocks and one interception in Sunday's 2-0 win over Fiorentina.

He has logged three or more clearances in the last three contests, accumulating 10 and adding six tackles (four won), two interceptions and three blocks, helping blank the opponents once.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs two blocks versus Como Hien (thigh) won one of one tackle and had one clearance and two blocks in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Como.

Impact Hien wasn't particularly busy in his return from a two-game absence but helped contain the opponents in a fairly challenging match-up. He'll be a fixture as long as he stays healthy. He has tallied at least one tackle and one clearance in every appearance, totaling nine (four won) and 27, respectively, in six contests, adding six interceptions and four blocks, with no clean sheets.

OCTOBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Hien (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Como.

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Called up for Como contest Hien (thigh) has made Atalanta's squad list to face Como on Saturday.

Impact Hien will return from a two-game absence and could get the nod despite not being 100 percent since Atalanta are missing Giorgio Scalvini (thigh) and Odilon Kossounou (thigh) in the back. He has posted multiple clearances in four of five appearances, amassing 26 and adding eight tackles (five won), six interceptions and two blocks, with no clean sheets.

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late call for Como fixture Hien (thigh) was able to train at least in some fashion Friday and is staying with the team and will go through another fitness test Saturday, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

Impact Hien might be able to return after missing the last two matches, but it'll hinge on his sensations on game day. If available, he'll likely be rushed into the starting lineup as Atalanta are down several defenders.
