Djurgården Women Selma Svendsen injury and 2027 Damallsvenskan security, Digi Mart USA News: Djurgården was forced to replace Selma Svendsen, 25, during a 1-1 draw with title-chasing BK Häcken. Svendsen was carried off on a stretcher after the defender was injured in the first half.
Elin Westlund equalized for Djurgården only minutes after Svendsen had to leave the match. Svendsen had started every Damallsvenskan match this season before her injury.
Danish defender Joy Omewa chased down a shot from Häcken’s player and threw herself to block it, but Svendsen remained on the ground. Goalkeeper Moa Öhman immediately called for the medical team.
Expert Pär Lagerström of Viaplay said the sight was very unpleasant, noting that a player like Öhman reacting so quickly suggested she had seen something serious.
The point means that bottom-table sides IFK Norrköping, FC Rosengård and Piteå cannot catch Djurgården IF, which is already secured for the 2027 Damallsvenskan.
