The 19-year-old Swedish forward Anton Frondell injured himself on Friday night in a 3–0 victory against Italy.

The young promise of Tre Kronor was skating near the boards when suddenly the door of the Italian bench opened. Frondell collided with the boards at the opening.

According to Expressen, Sweden’s Viaplay broadcast criticized Jukka Jalonen harshly regarding Italy.

– Very serious, that is incredibly dangerous. Shameful behavior from Italy for not closing the door properly. The tournament could be over because of that, Erik Granqvist fumed according to the newspaper.

Jalonen was asked about the situation after the game.

– I didn’t see what happened, the head coach of Italy replied.

The Swedish camp was not pleased, as Frondell left the game.

– In such a situation, something really bad can happen; you never want to see this. Fortunately, it seems that he is not seriously injured, star forward Lucas Raymond commented.

The coach of Tre Kronor, Sam Hallam, also weighed in.

– Really unfortunate, bad luck.
