"Gustaf has made progress but will miss the game, and Besfort too. He has an ankle problem but will be fine - but not until tomorrow," Potter said at a press conference.

Centre-back Gustaf Lagerbielke came to the training camp on Monday with a groin injury and was ruled out of the Romania match from the start. He is rehabbing with the hope of being ready to play during the training camp.

Midfielder Besfort Zeneli is being ruled out with a sprained foot.

The Sweden men's team will face Romania in the first Nations League match at home at Strawberry Arena on Friday evening.
