Key Points
  • Noah Tolf was substituted in a U21 match due to a groin or hip injury.
  • His availability for IFK Göteborg's season opener is uncertain.
  • Alexander Jallow is reportedly a backup option if Tolf cannot play.

IFK Göteborg's left-back Noah Tolf, 21, was substituted during a U21 national team match against Italy in Borås, reportedly due to a groin or hip issue. He did not train with the team the following day and was set to see a doctor. The team's coach, Joachim Björklund, said they do not yet have a full diagnosis and it is unclear if Tolf will be available for the season opener against Elfsborg in Borås.

If Tolf cannot play, Alexander Jallow is reportedly an alternative, though Jallow also missed training for planned gym work. The team has had many players absent from training this week, primarily due to national team duties or load management ahead of the match.
