Rolfö was recently signed by Manchester United in the English top division.

On Wednesday, the Swede's new club will play the Champions League qualifier against PSV Eindhoven in Stockholm. But Rolfö will not be participating.

According to Aftonbladet, the national team star is injured.

The 31-year-old injured her left foot before the summer's European Championship in Switzerland. It was long uncertain whether she would be able to play the championship.

”Frido” will probably miss two or three weeks. She had some problems before the European Championship but she pushed herself back to play. We want to make sure she comes back completely healthy before she starts playing, says Manchester United's coach Marc Skinner at a press conference according to the evening newspaper.

The match will be played on Wednesday at 12.00.

If they win against PSV, Manchester United will play against the winner between Hammarby and Metalist Charkiv on Saturday in the Champions League qualifying tournament's final, which will also be played in Stockholm.

Rolfö missed Sweden's opening group stage match against Denmark during the summer's European Championship, but made substitutions or started in the remaining three matches.

In connection with the European Championship, the news came that Rolfö terminated the contract, which had one year left, with FC Barcelona. Ten days ago, she was presented by Manchester United.
