Therefore, Sweden must manage without both its regular midfielders.
"It's clear that it's a setback for us that we won't have Felix Claar, Jim Gottfridsson, and Daniel Pettersson available tomorrow, but it's pleasing that we have Max Darj back and that we have such a good player as Jonathan Edvardsson with us on site. We're going into the game with 13 players who hold a very high class and are going for victory against Croatia", says national team captain Glenn Solberg in a statement.
Sweden has only won one of three matches in the group stage and risks missing the quarterfinals next week, despite coming to Paris as one of the big medal favorites.
