Tottenham have been dealt a devastating blow to midfield star Lukas Bergvall, who is reportedly facing a long-term absence after re-injuring his injury in Tuesday’s Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund.
The 19-year-old, who has been hailed as an “unstoppable” talent since his arrival, faces a race against time to make a comeback this season.
Lukas Bergvall out for 2-3 months
According to a scathing report in Swedish media outlet Fotbollskanalen, Lukas Bergvall’s injury was serious enough to keep him out of action for a considerable period of time.
The young Swede has suffered a “serious injury” and is expected to be out for two to three months.
The timing couldn’t have been worse for the international teenager. Sweden is scheduled to play Ukraine in a crucial World Cup play-off semi-final on March 26th, with the squad expected to be announced on March 18th.
According to reports, Bergvall will definitely miss out on the playoffs, a heartbreaking development for a youngster who was desperate to get his country to the 2026 World Cup.
The injury was the result of a gamble that backfired. Bergvall picked up a knock against Bournemouth but was rushed back into the starting lineup for the crucial game against Dortmund as Tottenham’s injury crisis worsened.
He managed to play for an hour, but succumbed to his injuries and left the field in agony.
How many games will Bergvall miss at Tottenham?
If the three-month timeline holds true, Bergvall will miss out on a crucial part of the 2025/26 campaign.
Based on estimated recovery times, he could miss up to 12-15 games in all competitions, including high-stakes matches in the Premier League and potentially the Round of 16 in the Champions League.
