"Following examinations, Emil Holm will soon leave the group to begin his rehabilitation in consultation with his club Bologna," the national team writes in a statement.

Blågult says there is no need to call up a replacement at this time.

Mattias Svanberg, Taha Ali and Gustaf Nilsson have previously been forced to withdraw from the squad due to injuries. They have been replaced by Hugo Larsson, Williot Swedberg and Paulos Abraham. In addition, John Mellberg has been brought in from the U21 national team after Gustaf Lagerbielke's injury concerns.

On Monday, Sweden plays at home against Poland. After that come two away matches, against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Romania.
