At the beginning of September, the Swedish national team started the game of the group stage of the Nations League, losing to France 1-0 and Portugal 2-0 at the Friends Arena in division A. In early October, they expect new international matches against Russia at a training meeting on October 8 and against Croatia away on October 11 and against Portugal on October 14 in the Nations League. Blue and Yellow is currently third, out of four teams, in the Nations League group.

On Wednesday, the captain of the national team, Janne Andersson, called out his new national team for the next meeting and then chose to remove 28 players due to the fact that three matches are expected, of which one training match during the next meeting. .

– We have chosen to eliminate 28 players. This means that we will give some new players, players relatively new to us, a chance to show off. This is because the first match is a training match. There we can turn around a little more players. The starting eleven against Croatia should not be involved in the first match. After the Russia match, some players are likely to leave. But what will we take then. The idea is not to continue with 28 players from Russia. Having a lot of players in the stands doesn’t feel interesting, Andersson says during the press conference.

Andersson also started the press conference by revealing that Viktor Claesson is once again part of the national team squad. This is the first time since he was injured against Spain in the European Championship qualifiers last year. Since then Claesson has trained in rehab and returned to the field with Krasnodar in Russia in late August.

– Viktor Claesson is on the team. It’s a lot of fun after he got injured against Spain in the European Championship qualifiers last summer. It was an ugly wound that he received. So much fun getting it out again. I don’t usually talk about individual players in this way, but now I really want to. Welcome back, Viktor, says Andersson.

New names in the squad are also the tracks Mattias Johansson, every day in the Turkish team Genclerbirligi, and Carl Starfelt, every day in the Russian team Rubin Kazan, as well as the Helsingborgs IF defender Martin Olsson, who was forced to redefine the previous collection due to several crown -fall in HIF.

– We followed Mattias. We observed him when he was in AZ in Holland and in Panathinaikos. He was also depressed and I saw him in February before the crown breakout and met him, and he has been doing well for several years. Therefore, it has been involved in spinning, but it has not reached the end. He’s a great winger and soccer player so it’ll be fun, says Andersson and continues:

– Carl Starfelt came from BP and was only at Blåvitt for a year and a half before going to Rubin Kazan. He has done very well there, he has a shirt and is playing. He is one of those left behind along with Sebastian Holmén and Joakim Nilsson. It is the midfielders who are doing well and that is why he is with us this time.

Furthermore, Spartak Moscow striker Jordan Larsson also has a chance at Blågult this time after a pleasant autumn with four goals in nine league games in Russia.

– He still has it. He went to NEC Nijmegen and had a pretty difficult year there. Then he came home to Norrköping and the first year didn’t go as planned, although he did some good things too. So it was a difficult competitive situation. So I think he continued on that journey. He scores goals and is a smart player, who is good at finishing, says the league captain and continues:

– I feel like he was tactically loyal in his way of playing and we have also had him with him during two tours in January and we have gotten to work with him. Then he also made a very good impression, when he scored the goal against Moldova this year, but unfortunately he had to leave that match with a feeling. He is also at Spartak today, which is one of the biggest clubs in Russia and he has a jersey there. It will be a lot of fun to see Jordan with us again.
