Iceland will be weakened in the second leg of the play-off to go to the World Cup against Croatia.
Apart from Olafur Skulason, who received a red card in Reykjavik, striker Kolbein Sigthorsson will not play at Maksimir either.
The Ajax striker injured his ankle at the end of the first half of the game in Iceland, and there was hope that he would recover for the second leg, but the medical service of the national team confirmed that there is no chance for him to play.
Instead of going to Croatia, Sigtorson will go to the Netherlands, where the Ajax doctors will perform additional tests and try to get him ready for the Champions League match against Barcelona, which is scheduled for November 26 in Catalonia.
