Sweden's national team loses five players to illness ahead of Bosnia clash
Swedish football officials announced that five squad members, including Benjamin Nygren and Yasin Ayari, are unavailable for the upcoming Nations League match in Bosnia.
The Sweden national team reported a sickness outbreak, isolating Benjamin Nygren, Yasin Ayari, Gustaf Lagerbielke and two additional players. All five will miss Friday's away game against Bosnia-Hercegovina in Sarajevo. The team, still based in Sweden, will travel later in the day without the affected players. Earlier, Ayari, Nygren and Wålemark helped secure a 3-1 win over Poland, with Nygren scoring the decisive goal. Stroud remained an unused substitute, and Lagerbielke has been dealing with a prior injury.
Why it matters
The illness reduces Sweden's options for a crucial Nations League match, potentially affecting their competitive standing.
