    Lindelof, 29, led his nation last night in their Euro 2024 qualifier against Belgium.
    However, the game was abandoned at half-time after two people both believed to be wearing Sweden football shirts were gunned down in the street.

    She shared a photo of Sweden fans to her Instagram story and captioned it: “There are no words. My thoughts go out to all those affected yesterday.

    “To the victims and their families. To all Swedish fans. To Sweden.”
    A picture of Lindelof followed after to which Maja pleaded: “And I just want you home now.”
    The score was 1-1 when the game was suspended and 35,000 fans were told to remain in the King Baudouin Stadium.
    ISIS fanatic Abdesalem Lassoued, 45, claimed responsibility for the shooting.

    The attack took place 45 minutes before kick-off and happened just three miles from the stadium.
    Police tracked Lassoued down to a cafe after he went on the run for around 12 hours following his horror rampage.
    And this morning Belgian authorities confirmed cops hunting him had shot a suspect in a cafe in the Schaerbeek neighbourhood of Brussels.
    An ambulance was seen leaving the scene before prosecutors confirmed he had died.
    The Sweden captain told the press conference that the players never felt in any danger – but also claimed the match should NOT be replayed or completed.
    Lindelof said: “Our security team handled it well and put us at ease. They explained that this is the safest place to be in Brussels.”
    He added: “Belgium are already qualified and we don’t have the opportunity to get to the European Championship, so I see no reason to play [replay the game].”
    The Man Utd defender has also shared a statement on his Twitter to send his condolences to those affected by the attacks.
    Lindelof said: “I’m shocked and devastated by the terrible incidents in Brussels with the cold-hearted attacks on our fellow Swedes.

    “I’m lost for words for the cruelty and inhumanity, I want to send my deepest condolences to the families and friends of those affected.
    “At the same time, my thoughts go out to all the supporters in Belgium last night, no one should ever go to a game of football and feel unsafe when supporting their team.”

    Tabby also appeared in ads for Canon, Virgin Atlantic, AXE and Lynx, and starred in Channel 5’s The Bachelor.
    Heartbroken fans, friends and music stars took to social media to pay tribute to Tabby after the shocking news.
    The Playboy model often moved in high-profile circles and was known to have relationships with some famous footballers.
    Tabby dated Mario Balotelli for seven months after first meeting the former Premier League striker in a nightclub in 2011.

    Balotelli, who was at Man City at the time, befriended her on Facebook and then convinced her to go on a date with him.
    “I really fell for Mario – against my better judgment,” she told the Mirror in 2013.
    “He told me he wanted us to settle down and have a family.
    “Then I found out he was having a baby with his ex, there were constant stories about him partying with other women, and all the ‘she’s just a friend’ texts.

    “So I ended it in November. Mario couldn’t believe it and thought he could sweet-talk me into going back to him.
    “When he realised there was no chance he took it very badly. But that’s because Mario has never been dumped by a woman before. He’s used to getting exactly what he wants.”
    And England forward Sterling previously had a hotel date with the lingerie model at a posh Manchester hotel in March 2016.
    It came just weeks after he set up home with Paige Milian in a £3.5million pad in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
    The now-Chelsea star was driven by a pal in a blacked-out limo to the model’s city centre hotel.
    Sterling then disappeared for an hour in the building, where she had checked in the night before.
    The star was then spotted having a chat with the model in the bar while Tabby ate lunch.
    It it also claimed that Sterling has previously sent Tabby gifts and flowers after he first met her in a London nightclub.
    And he even reportedly arranged for her to have a VIP ticket to watch him play in the Capital One Cup Final, which saw Sterling and his City team-mates beat Liverpool.
    Devastated fans and music stars took to social media to pay tribute to the model under her final post in February 2022.
    Musician NayNay wrote: “What a light u were, Your outer exterior matched your insides, so beautiful.
    “I’m genuinely shocked and saddened you’re gone. Rest in eternal peace Tabby.”
    “Heartbroken. A true angel – love you tabs – sending you love and light as you transition x,” said another.

    In September Daniella Westbrook, 49, shared a video of herself lying between the sheets with ex con Ben – just weeks after confirming she was back with her fiancé David.
    In the video, a giggling Danniella says: “Guess what, do you want to know a secret?”
    She then pans over to Ben who laughs: “The cats out the bag.”
    Danniella adds: “It’s official.”
    She later shared another video and claimed it was an old video taken ‘years ago’ and she thought she was just sending to him as she insisted they are just friends.
    Hatchett also previously dated Jessie Wallace’s half-sister Danielle Mason after inviting her on his podcast and having their first date in Broadmoor.
    Speaking with the Daily Star about turning his life around following regaining his freedom, Ben said: “I came out with a dream in my head.
    “I was going to do a book I was going to do something positive in the world – I came out with the belief that I can change and be a better person and he can too, if he was just given the opportunity.
    “I was done for hostage taking,” he admits, “was on top of prison roofs, I was done for violence, I was kicked out of Broadmoor.
    “They deemed me high risk. I did nine months segregation for a plot to take lan Brady hostage but I came out and look what I’ve done now; I own a security company now, I am a professional fighter, I’ve gone and worked with kids.

    I went viral for STREET boxing and was threatened with guns.. now I’m signed to KSI and winning praise from world champs

    DEEN THE GREAT has gone from fighting in the streets to becoming a star of KSI’s Misfits Boxing. The American shot to fame on YouTube for challenging rivals to boxing matches in public.

    They have become huge hits with one video of Deen boxing a Houston police officer in Texas reaching almost TWO MILLION views.
    The internet sensation – who wrestled at school – was inspired into a social media career after seeing his friends rake it in.
    Deen, 23, told SunSport: “I saw they were making $30,000 a month, I was like s***. Let me get some of that. 
    “They’re doing fake pranks so I just picked up a phone, started recording with my friends and fighting on the streets, it went viral.

    “I kept doing the street s*** and it kept going viral and kept going viral, I fought three people at once, it went viral. 
    “I even fought a police officer and that’s what got me on the map.”
    Deen started training when he was 17 and was discovered online by prankster FouseyTube.
    So when KSI launched Misfits Boxing – a platform for crossover celebrity-style bouts – it was a no brainer for the brawler.

    Deen said: “I started taking it serious when they got me on the big stage.”
    The lightweight – real name Nurideen Shahid Shabazz – admitted fighting on the streets often drew threats.
    He said: “It was hella dangerous, but I guess God was on my side. 
    “The whole point was it was guns down gloves up so people kind of got the memo. 
    “I did have a few people threaten me, but I don’t fear s***. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.” 
    Deen is unbeaten in Misfits and returns in a rematch on Saturday against bitter rival Walid Sharks, who he knocked out in November.
    But he is tempted by a switch to the professional game if the money is right having been supported by world champions.
    Deen said: “S***, the influencer game is where the money is at.
    “But if the pro game have some bread to throw, I know promoters have been asking me a lot of questions. 
    “A lot of them are interested so it’s going to be exciting to see. But if DAZN keep taking care of me, I’ll stick with DAZN and turn pro if there’s no one else to fight in the influencer scene, why not?
