Hjalmar Ekdal is forced to leave the national football team's gathering due to an injury.

Ekdal suffered a muscle injury in the back of his thigh in the loss to Denmark (1–2) on Wednesday, according to the federation on its website.

He had to leave Parken in Copenhagen on a stretcher after only five minutes of play after his substitution.

National team coach Jon Dahl Tomasson will not call up a replacement for Saturday's match against Serbia at the Friends Arena in Solna.

Samuel Gustafson suffered an injury during training on Thursday at Stockholm Stadium and will undergo further examinations on Friday, according to the federation.
