Kosovare Asllani injured, carried off on a stretcher

Nightmare scenes for the Swedish women's national team. National team captain Kosovare Asllani was injured in a league match against West Ham and had to be carried off on a stretcher.

The Swedish national team star went in for the ball in extra time in the 1-1 draw between West Ham and her club, London City Lionesses. Then she got her left leg stuck in the grass.

The 36-year-old was left lying on the field with her hands over her face, grimacing, and had to be carried off on a stretcher.

On Wednesday, head coach Tony Gustavsson will name the national team squad for the World Cup qualifying matches against Denmark and Serbia, which will be played on April 14 and 18.
