Benfica star in dramatic ordeal: Thought I'd lost my eye | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup was involved in an unusual incident during the 0-0 draw between Norway and Switzerland at the Ullevaal Stadium, in a moment that left Norway international David Møller Wolfe in distress after a blow to the face.

After Wolfe took an elbow below one eye that required four stitches, Benfica’s number 21 admitted he had overreacted, which ended up frightening his teammate, who "went into panic mode".

"The teammates who come over react, and I panic too, I’m not going to lie. Schjelderup comes over to me and shouts for Ola [Sand, the doctor], and that’s when I panic," explained the left-back in comments to Norwegian newspaper 'Dagbladet'.

Wolfe revealed that Kristoffer Ajer was the one who calmed him down and that the matter was discussed with Schjelderup, who later spoke about it in the mixed zone. "He got angry with me, I reacted a bit too strongly," Schjelderup told the same outlet. "I see a lot of blood and a cut under his eye and I think, 'what the hell...' I thought he had lost his eye."

The Benfica winger - who has been drawing attention - admitted with a smile that his reaction alarmed his teammate: "He didn’t know how serious it was, he just felt the blood running down. Next time, maybe I should calm him down instead of overreacting and scaring him even more. I understand why he’s annoyed."
