Swedish Premier League defender operated

Emil Krafth declined the national football team's latest gathering due to injury.

Now, Newcastle's coach Eddie Howe confirms that the Swede has undergone surgery.

We expect him to be out for six to eight weeks. It's a tough blow for us to lose Emil, who has been so stable in his performances, says Howe in a post on the club's X-account.

British media have reported that it involves a broken collarbone, but it's something the club hasn't confirmed yet.
