Iceland coach: Anderson will not play against Azerbaijan and Ukraine due to injury

6686 Sports reported on November 12 that Iceland coach Gunlausson revealed that Anderson, who plays for Djurgarden, will miss the competition with Azerbaijan and Ukraine.

Gunlausen said: "We decided to let him (Anderson) stay in Sweden for an MRI examination. We originally expected to try our best to get him to catch up with these important games, but unfortunately we learned earlier that he is currently unable to return to the team to join us." Anderson will stay in Jurgarden where he plays for examination and treatment.

The good news is that although Thomason has been unwell recently, he is expected to recover before tomorrow's key battle.

In addition, Gunlausson said that a replacement player may be recruited, but the decision will be made after the game against Azerbaijan.
