A storm swept over the capital just as Graham Potter's World Cup squad was due to hold their first training session on Wednesday afternoon.

"It's fucking cold," the national team captain said, unzipping the top of his national team overalls.

Several players will initially have individual training plans due to injuries or match fatigue.

Striker Alexander Isak was expected to be involved in about 80 percent of the session, as was Gabriel Gudmundsson. According to the national team's press officer Petra Thorén, Carl Starfelt and Elliot Stroud, both injured, were expected to do "football functional training" after the warm-up. Individual training sessions were also planned for Mattias Svanberg, Emil Holm and Victor Nilsson Lindelöf because of matches close to the World Cup.
