First of all, I hope this message finds you and your family in good health and safe after such a frightening incident. It must have been deeply concerning to learn about the plane crash in the United States that injured nine people. I can only imagine how distressing it was for you to receive news that your family might have been involved. Please allow me to express my sincere hope that all of your loved ones are safe and recovering.

Given the confirmation from security authorities that members of your family were among those affected, it is perfectly natural that you may be feeling a range of emotions—shock, fear, relief, anxiety. Such events are overwhelming on every level. That is why I want to offer you my unwavering support and emphasize that you are not alone during this tumultuous time. Your teammates, your club, and your fans all stand by you, and we are all hoping and praying for the best possible outcome for your family.

In moments like this, communication becomes essential. If you have any updates that you are able to share, it can help those who care for you understand the situation and offer the right kind of help and comfort. Whether it is confirming everyone’s well-being, sharing how your family is being cared for, or simply letting us know what you need, even small updates can be a source of relief to many.

If you feel overwhelmed by the media or outside inquiries, please know that it is okay to set boundaries. It’s entirely valid to protect your privacy right now and prioritize what is most important—your family’s safety and your own peace of mind. Should you need assistance with managing calls, messages, or other outside pressures, your club or a trusted representative can support you in handling that in a way that maintains your focus on what truly matters.

In times of crisis, relying on those closest to you can make a significant difference. Whether through a call, a text, or a moment of quiet presence, staying connected with people who care for you can offer profound comfort. I encourage you to reach out whenever you feel ready—even if it is just to tell someone you are thinking of them or to have someone listen. You are allowed to seek solace in any way that brings you a moment of calm.

It is also important to remember that emergencies often bring out the best in communities. Whether from colleagues, friends, fans, or strangers moved by concern, messages of support can uplift and sustain emotional resilience. Allow such generosity of spirit to surround you if and when you are comfortable receiving it. You do not need to carry this weight alone; there are many around you willing to help bear it.

From a practical standpoint, if there is anything specific you need—whether related to travel arrangements, coordination, family support, or simply having space to process—do not hesitate to ask. Every organization or team member around you is ready to help in any way possible, and they will respect your needs and timing.

Beyond the immediate situation, please take care of yourself. Crises can take a toll not only on our minds, but on our bodies as well. Give yourself permission to rest, to breathe deeply, and to step away from external demands when needed. Self-care during traumatic moments is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Even short pauses of quiet, a few deep breaths, or reaching out for a moment of calm can contribute to clarity and resilience.

On behalf of everyone who respects and admires you, I want to say that your strength and character have always inspired. Many are watching and hoping for your family’s safety and your well-being. In moments of hardship, true character shines through—and we see that in you every day, both on and off the pitch.

Should there come a time when you wish to speak or share publicly, or to remain silent and heal privately, both choices are equally valid. You have the full permission of those around you to choose what feels best. You are supported whether you seek reflection, conversation, or quiet solitude.

Finally, please know this: your pain and your resilience matter to people everywhere. I send my deepest concern and support to you and your family, hoping for strength and recovery in the days ahead. May you find moments of peace amid the storm, and may those you hold dear be safe and soon on the path to healing.

Supporters’ groups in Sweden and the UK have also announced plans for banners and tributes in upcoming matches, ensuring that Lindelof feels the love and strength of the football family when he returns to the pitch.

While there is relief that no lives were lost, the road to recovery—both physical and emotional—can be long and challenging. The football world has witnessed similar tragedies in the past, where community and solidarity played a crucial role in helping players and their families cope. Lindelof’s situation serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health support for athletes, something Manchester United has committed to prioritizing.

As investigations continue, more details are expected to emerge regarding the crash and the condition of those injured. For now, the priority remains the recovery and well-being of Lindelof’s family members. Fans are encouraged to keep sending positive messages and prayers as the football community stands united in support of one of its own.

In times of crisis, the power of solidarity cannot be underestimated. From heartfelt messages by teammates like Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo to the overwhelming support from fans, Victor Lindelof is certainly not alone in this battle. As the world waits for good news on the recovery of his loved ones, one thing is certain: football, beyond being a sport, is a family that comes together in moments of tragedy.
