(Reuters) - Sweden defender Nilla Fischer's statue was vandalised in Linkoping, an incident which, according to midfielder Caroline Seger, raises deeper questions about gender equality in the country.

Swedish media reports said a local resident noticed on Saturday morning that the main body of the statue had been knocked from its plinth.
