The Swedish Football Association: Sweden have suffered a major blow ahead of their FIFA World Cup knockout clash against France after defender Isak Hien was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament with a hamstring injury.

The 27-year-old was hurt in Sweden's 1-1 draw with Japan on Thursday, a score which saw Graham Potter's side progress to the round of 32 as one of the eight best third-placed teams.

The Swedish Football Association (SvFF) confirmed the blow on Saturday and said Hien would play no further part in the World Cup and would return to his club to begin rehabilitation.
