Patrick Andersson Ruled Out Of The World Cup
News Archive
06/13/2002. Sweden will be without their captain Patrick Andersson for the rest of their World Cup campaign after the Barcelona player returned to Sweden after given up his fight against a thigh injury.
"It is a massive disappointment. I have been fighting all spring just to be here," he said.
"It is a huge blow as I really thought that I would be able to play in the tournament again.
"But that's life and I can only wish the rest of the lads in the team good luck."
Sweden have done fine without him though, as they finished top of the 'Group of Death'.
