Sebastian Andersson has declined the collection due to a knee problem. Dejan Kulusevski has been quarantined by Juventus and will not be able to join the national team in Stockholm.
The Football Association announces that Kulusevski will miss Thursday’s match against Russia, but hopes that the Serie A pro can join the team in Zagreb before the match against Croatia.

– When I spoke with Juventus, they said that the club has ten players from the national team who are affected, says the director of the team, Stefan Pettersson.
Due to Bremen’s quarantine rules, Ludwig Augustinsson will also not be able to travel to Russia and Portugal.
– The authorities in the Bremen region say that if you go to a country that is on the “red” list, you must be quarantined for five days. Russia and Portugal are those countries, Andersson says.
Augustinsson joins however, to Zagreb, where Croatia waits in the Nations League.
Mikael Lustig was injured in AIK’s away game against Östersund, but according to Andersson there should be no major danger with the right-back.
– I spoke to him as quickly as possible. He needs a few days of rehab, then he should be fine.
New players will not be called.
– We take out 28 players before these games and we have players so we can do it, says Andersson.
On Wednesday, the national team travels to meet Russia in Moscow.
– Once we’re in place, I look forward to the matches, says Andersson.
