Iceland’s World Cup hopes have been dealt a further blow with their physio having to return home due to injury.
The nation’s chances of progressing already hung in the balance following a 2-0 defeat to Nigeria on Friday, while the calf problem picked up by Burnley winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson was a further blow.
But they will have to make do without team physio Petur Orn Gunnarsson after he suffered a hand injury in a cycling accident.
“The hope is for Peter to return to work during Iceland’s participation,” the Football Association of Iceland said.
