Tomasson praises Nanasi: Very good performance

Jon Dahl Tomasson praised Sebastian Nanasi after the 22-year-old's national team debut from the start. We score two really beautiful, perfect goals and "Sebbe's" one is a top-class goal, says the national team captain after 3–0 against Estonia.

Despite a shaky start, the Dane takes many positive things with him from Tallinn.

If you look at the match, we were quite dominant, we saw all our principles in how to create scoring opportunities. One or two passes, then in behind the opponent and the players were in the right positions.

Again, we created many chances, says "JDT".

Nanasi, debutant from start, scored a beautiful leading goal in the 29th minute.

"Top-class goal"

"Sebbe" scores an individual top-class goal. I'm glad he scores two goals. It was good for him considering it was his first start for the national team.

I'm also pleased to have given Hugo Bolin and Daniel Svensson their debuts. It's a special feeling to play for your country.

Jon Dahl Tomasson's grade on Nanasi? High.

Very good, extremely good. He's a really good player. He scores goals, he's creative, he plays in tight spaces with few passes.

He delivers a very good performance.

Pain in the groin

Defender Alex Douglas was injured in the first half and had to be substituted.

I haven't seen any medical report, but he's clearly injured. We don't know how long he'll be out. We'll have to wait for that news, says Tomasson.

To TV4 Fotbollskanalen, Douglas says:

I have pain in my groin. It got worse and worse, until I felt I couldn't play anymore. I'll go back to Poland and check (how bad it is).

Since Douglas received his second warning in the Nations League, he is suspended for the next match, the group final against Slovakia. It will be played on November 16 at Strawberry arena in Solna.
