The reason why Victor Lindelof was forced to leave Old Trafford during Manchester United's clash against Lyon has been revealed.

Last Thursday night, United and French Ligue 1 side Lyon produced a classic in the Europa League.

After the match ended 2-2 on the night, extra time was needed to determine a winner.

Rayan Cherki and Alexandre Lacazette made it 4-2 before late goals from Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire secured a stunning 5-4 comeback win.

After the match, it was revealed that defender Lindelof was forced to leave Old Trafford due to personal reasons.

Now, the defender's wife, Maja, has revealed Lindelof had to leave Old Trafford as their son was rushed to the hospital after a serious head injury.

As reported by The Sun, Maja said: "An hour before the [Lyon] game started, our babysitter called and said they were in an ambulance on the way to hospital.

"My youngest son Francis had split his entire head open. He had been chasing his big brother Ted Louie at home, and fallen into our glass staircase.

"His forehead was in two parts. He was in hospital both Thursday and Friday. He had to have plastic surgery to put his forehead back together. He was put under anaesthetic."

She continued: "It is the first time I have experienced something like this happening with one of my children. It was incredibly unpleasant, and not something I want to experience again.

"The operation went well, and Francis is back on track. He is a Viking, and back to normal. Everyone was so worried, but he continues his life as if nothing has happened. The doctors say he will have a big scar on his forehead. But never mind - I'm just happy that it went so well."

Lindelof was back in action over the weekend for United's 1-0 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Swede started for Ruben Amorim's men before being replaced by Leny Yoro with 79 minutes on the clock.
