Defender Eric Smith has been called up to the squad and will join this evening.

Yasin Ayari, Benjamin Nygren and Gustaf Lagerbielke have all caught colds and have been isolated from the rest of the squad.

A fourth player is also possibly on his way to the infirmary. At a press conference before the departure to Bosnia-Herzegovina, striker Paulos Abraham snorted.

Ugh, I'm starting to feel a little sick now, says Abraham.

When the Swede left the press conference, he also said:

It feels like it's starting to come now.

The national team announced earlier on Wednesday that it is still unclear whether the players will have time to recover and be able to play Friday's match against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Cold symptoms, far too early to say if they will go. That they have fallen ill was information that came today, said Petra Thorén, press officer for the national team, according to TV4 Football Channel .

Sweden has started the Nations League with two straight wins. During the campaign, they now have two away matches, in addition to Bosnia-Herzegovina, they will face Romania.
