After the worries, Leeds defender Gabriel Gudmundsson ready for World Cup repeat

Leeds full-back Gabriel Gudmundsson has been sidelined with an injury this spring and his status ahead of the World Cup has been unclear. However, at the press conference ahead of the match against Greece, national team captain Graham Potter gave reassuring news.

Gabriel Gudmundsson was one of Sweden's best players in the playoff matches against Ukraine and Poland.

But a thigh injury has caused problems for the 27-year-old this spring. The injury kept him out of the league final in England and he also missed Sweden's loss to Norway.

Now, however, Gabriel Gudmundsson is ready to play in the final international friendly against Greece on Thursday evening.

"Gabriel will start. It has been part of the plan," Sweden manager Graham Potter said at the pre-match press conference.
