Hugo Larsson called up to Sweden squad, replaces injured Mattias Svanberg

Hugo Larsson has been called up to the national team ahead of the Nations League. The midfielder replaces Mattias Svanberg, who is injured.

Hugo Larsson is now getting another chance in the men's national football team. The 22-year-old midfielder, who was named in the World Cup squad, will be called up when the Blue and Yellows gather next Monday for the Nations League matches.

Larsson replaces Mattias Svanberg, who, according to the Swedish Football Association, has suffered a "minor injury".

Hugo Larsson changed clubs this summer, moving from German side Eintracht Frankfurt to Premier League club Fulham. He was in the squad when the national team secured a World Cup ticket last spring by beating Ukraine and Poland in the playoff.

During the intensive training camp, Sweden will play four matches: two against Romania and one against Poland and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
