Lucas Bergvall picked up an injury during the recent international break, but despite concerns, the latest update on the Tottenham midfielder’s condition brings good news.

Tottenham’s young midfielder, Lucas Bergvall, has had to step back from international duty with Sweden this week, returning to London for a medical assessment.

Fortunately for Spurs fans, early indications suggest that the injury isn’t as severe as initially feared, offering hope for a swift return to the pitch.

Bergvall, whose international career is just starting to blossom, was understandably disappointed to miss out on Sweden’s 3-0 victory against Estonia on Monday night.

The 18-year-old had been left on the bench during their draw against Slovakia last week, and not long after, the Swedish Football Association announced his withdrawal due to a "minor injury."

The latest updates, provided by FotbollDirekt, reveal that Bergvall's departure from the Sweden squad was mainly a precautionary measure.

Despite concerns, the injury seems to be manageable, and there is optimism that it won't sideline him for long.

This minor setback appears to stem from an ongoing issue Bergvall experienced since Tottenham's Europa League clash against Ferencvaros earlier this month.

While training with Sweden during the current international break, he felt a slight strain in his calf, leading to his return to London for further evaluation.

As it stands, Bergvall is set to undergo medical assessments in London to determine the full extent of his injury.

The hope is that he won't face a lengthy recovery period and could be back in action sooner rather than later.

He’ll have his eyes set on Tottenham’s next Europa League fixture against AZ Alkmaar on October 24, aiming to make a significant impact if given the chance.

Given that Bergvall has enjoyed minutes in cup competitions, like the Europa League, it's crucial for the Swedish midfielder to be back in shape as soon as possible. However, it's clear that he will most likely be unavailable for Saturday's game against West Ham.
