Victor Lindelof - Page 5 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Still out Monday Lindelof (COVID-19) is not in the squad for Monday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Lindelof didn't have enough time to recover for Monday's match, so Phil Jones is getting his first start in a couple years. Lindelof has had a couple issues in recent weeks, but with some rest, he should be able to play for the team's next match, which is set for Jan. 15.

Could return Monday Lindelof (COVID-19) could return as soon as Monday, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Lindelof tested positive for COVID-19 and missed Thursday's clash, but could return as soon as Monday against Wolves. The defender will hope to slot back into the starting XI, with Raphael Varane also expected to be fit for Monday's clash.

Tests positive for COVID-19 Lindelof tested positive for COVID-19 and will likely miss Thursday's match against Burnley in addition to Monday's draw against Newcastle.

Impact Lindelof dealt with a chest issue a few weeks ago, so testing positive for COVID-19 isn't a good thing. His return will depend on when he tested positive, as he could be back either Monday against Wolves or he'll have to wait for the team's mid-week January match.

May be available against Newcastle Lindelof (chest) could be ready to play versus Newcastle United on Monday. Manager Ralf Rangnick told reporters, "From what I saw, I can say most of them, if not all of them, might...

Impact Lindelof has avoided missing any games since the club was last in action Dec. 1 versus Norwich City thanks to several postponements. When healthy, the defender has been a lock for the starting XI, featuring in all but one of his 17 appearances for the club this year. Still, given Lindelof's limited offensive upside, he has just one shot (on target) this season, he shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

Lindelof undergoing tests after breathing problems in match

Manchester United says defender Victor Lindelof is undergoing “precautionary investigations” after suffering breathing difficulties during an English Premier League game

DECEMBER 14, 2021 • Associated Press

Undergoing precautionary tests Lindelof is "currently undergoing a series of precautionary investigations. However, he has recovered well from the episode he experienced in the match against Norwich."

Impact This is a positive update on Lindelof and there's a chance he's available for the team's next match Saturday. Then again, it's unknown how long they'll be testing him to make sure all is well, but for now, it appears Lindelof doesn't have a career-threatening issue.

Impact Man United manager Ralf Rangnick said after the game that Lindelof was having breathing problems when he was subbed out. He said "it seems that everything is OK" after a checkup with team doctors, but that they will continue to evaluate his health ahead of Tuesday's clash against Brentford. Eric Bailly could fill in for him in central defense if necessary.

Starting versus City Lindelof (undisclosed) will get the nod in Saturday's game versus Manchester City.

Impact Lindelof was in doubt after sitting out the midweek Champions League game, but he has been able to recover from an unspecified injury and will join Eric Bailly and Harry Maguire in the back. He has posted ten interceptions, 29 clearances and seven blocks in 11 matches, with one clean sheet.

Impact Lindelof was unavailable versus Atalanta on Tuesday and could miss out versus City as well. If the central defender is sidelined, Eric Bailly should maintain his place in the starting XI. Once given the all-clear, Lindelof should return to being a fixture on the pitch for the Red Devils moving forward.

Out against Atalanta Lindelof will miss Tuesday's Champions League clash against Atalanta with an unidsclosed injury, Man United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed on Monday.

Impact The severity of Lindelof's knock is unclear as of yet, but Eric Bailly replaces him in the back three on Tuesday.

Gathers fifth career assist in loss Lindelof assisted once, created one chance, made one tackle (none won), intercepted once and received one yellow card in the 4-2 defeat to Leicester on Saturday.

Impact Lindelof continued to look terrible in defense. If not for his well-placed long-ball for teammate Marcus Rashford, he would have not hit value for another game. Lindelof remains a poor option for Manchester United's backline with little effort defensively. His only use is on platforms that count clearances, otherwise, he can be passed for other options.

Ready for new season Lindelof is feeling better ahead of the new season after dealing with a back issue the majority of last campaign. "I feel much better now."

Impact Lindelof played every minute for Sweden in the Euros, so he either recovered ahead of that or in the month since. The problem for his playing time is that Man United just added Raphael Varane, so even though Lindelof is feeling better, he'll likely see the pitch less than last season.

Keeps spot Lindelof made 29 starts during the 2020/21 campaign picking up a goal and an assist.

Impact Questions swirled around Lindelof's spot in the starting XI with a chain of disappointing finishes putting everything in question. That proved to be no concern for the big Swede though, he established himself as a true number one center back in Manchester. A late season injury held him back for a few games, but he played 120 minutes of the Europa League final, and appeared to be fully fit.
