The 31-year-old Starfelt left the field after 30 minutes of Sweden's match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, which took place on October 2 and ended in a 1:1 draw. After the game, there was uncertainty over the nature of the injury, but the club confirmed the player's right thigh problems and gave an estimated treatment period.
