Sporting’s striker will fail the double Swedish team’s commitment against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland.
Sporting’s striker Viktor Gyökeres was dismissed from Sweden’s football team, which focuses on Marbella, Spain, due to physical problems, said the coach.
“Viktor had problems throughout the week, played 90 minutes over the weekend, with pain, and in the end it was not very well. It won’t be, this time, with the team. I called Gustaf Nilsson,” said Dane Jon Dahl Tomasson.
The ‘Leonino’ scorer was thus dismissed from the work of the Nordic team, with a view to private games with Luxembourg (March 22) and Northern Ireland (25), as well as Hugo Larsson and Kristoffer Nordfeldt.
Swedish coach does not want to “take risks”
Still in relation to Gyökeres, the coach explained, quoted by the Swedish Federation, that he does not want to “take risks”, given that the player has had “greater sensitivity” and that last week he had “conditioned training”.
The Swedish striker leads the list of markers of I Liga, with 28 goals, 10 of which are a penalty, and in the total of the time already takes 40 goals scored in 41 games for the ‘lions’.
From the list of chosen for the next games of Sweden is also part of the defense Samuel Dahl, loaned to Benfica by Roma already in the winter market.
