“He is very upset”–Player faces consequences after failure to secure new club following Manchester United exit

Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson has admitted that former Manchester United defender Victor Lindelöf has been left upset as his failure to find a new club means he’s missing from the next international break.

[Fotboll Skanalen](https://www.fotbollskanalen.se/sverige/har-ar-jon-dahl-tomassons-trupp-till-vm-kvalet/) cover comments from the Sweden boss today after he named his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo.

Lindelöf is not a part of the group that has been named, a surprising omission given he’s been Sweden captain for some time.

The decision has been made because the centre-back is yet to find himself a new club after leaving Manchester United on a free transfer in the summer.

He’s been linked with various sides across Europe since leaving Manchester United and a report yesterday even brought Everton and Brentford into the mix. It does, though, appear that Everton have been rebuffed by the 31-year-old for the time being.

He remains without a club as a result and that means he’ll be missing from the next international break, something that Tomasson admits the defender is less than happy about.

_“He is not available,”_ he said when asked about his captain’s absence.

_“We have had good communication. But he has no club. Hopefully he will get a club soon. He is very upset, and I am very upset, but we can’t do anything about it._

_“I would have loved to have Victor with me, concludes.”_
