Sweden’s starting XI against Bosnia and Herzegovina: Hugo Larsson earns another start

Graham Potter has no major surprises in his starting eleven against Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is how Sweden will line up in Solna:

Hugo Larsson thus seems to have firmly won the national team captain's trust. Before the last meeting, the Scanian was not even in the squad, but was called up after a couple of players turned down the invitation and then started the away match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“Hugo played away against Bosnia and had a good match. We think that Hugo and Yasin together can give us control but also find the right balance,” Graham Potter told the Swedish Football Association’s website.

Anthony Elanga and Gustaf Lagerbielke missed the international matches at the turn of September and October and are now playing for the Blue and Yellows for the first time since their World Cup exit against France in the summer.

Alongside the starting eleven is, as expected, Dejan Kulusevski, who said in advance that he expects to come on for about half an hour in what could be his first international match in almost two years.

There are also two debutants on the bench: Fiorentina's Alieu Njie and Strasbourg's Genesis Antwi.

Sweden leads the group and can secure first place with a victory. In that case, promotion to Nations League A awaits.

The teams' meeting in Zenica just over a month ago ended 1-1.
