+ Dejan Kulusevski, midfielder, 26 years old, Tottenham
Missed the World Cup due to a knee injury, but is expected to be the national team's next captain if he recovers.
+ Noel Törnqvist, goalkeeper, 24 years old, Como
Goalkeeper hero in Mjällby's successful season in 2025. Has not yet had his chance at the successful Italian club Como, but has a future ahead of him and was already close to a place in the World Cup squad.
+ John Mellberg, centre-back, 19 years old, Salzburg
Son of former centre-back Olof Mellberg. Has been with Salzburg in Austria for a long time but has been on loan to FC Liefering in the Austrian second division for the past three seasons.
+ Hugo Larsson, midfielder, 22 years old, Frankfurt
The former Malmö youngster has already established himself as a key player in Frankfurt's midfield. He had some disagreements with former national team captain Jon Dahl Tomasson but is a name for Sweden's central midfield in the future.
+ Sebastian Nanasi, midfielder, 24 years old, Strasbourg
On the reserve list for this World Cup finals. He is also a former Malmö talent who has scored plenty of points in Ligue 1 with Strasbourg.
+ Roony Bardghji, midfielder, 20 years old, Barcelona
Got a lot of playing time at Barcelona last season. The winger made seven starts and 14 substitute appearances in La Liga. Was not included in the World Cup squad after speculation that he had shown displeasure at dinner after Sweden's playoff win against Poland, something that national team captain Graham Potter has denied.
+ Williot Swedberg, midfielder, 22 years old, Celta Vigo
He broke through at a very young age at Hammarby and has since moved to Spain, where he has developed into a key player for his club. Scores a lot of goals and is good one-on-one.
+ Jonah Kusi-Asare, striker, 18 years old, Fulham
He was a major signing when he was sold for a large fee from AIK to German giants Bayern Munich. Injuries and fierce competition put a stop to that and after a loan spell in the Premier League at Fulham, the London club recently bought the striker.
