With two days left until the World Championship qualifying premiere away against Slovenia, the national football team's head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson has the entire squad available for training.
Defender Gabriel Gudmundsson was forced to break his latest league match with Leeds, but no longer has any problems.
He says he's "flying", so hopefully he does, says Tomasson.
"Have a plan"
That the one everyone is talking about right now will be able to play a whole match is, however, too much to hope for, says Tomasson. It's not Alexander Isak, who on Monday left Newcastle for Liverpool in a billion deal, ready for.
Usually you play many matches and train a lot during a preseason. But it hasn't been that way now. Of course, he won't play 90 minutes. Will we take a chance with Alex? No, of course not. But we have a plan, says Jon Dahl Tomasson.
He has been in contact with Liverpool's manager Arne Slot. But the Premier League club is not said to have delivered any guidelines regarding Isak's participation in the World Championship qualifying match, which continues against Kosovo on Monday.
No, no guidelines. I've talked to their coach and our doctor has talked to their doctor. But it's a normal communication that we have with the clubs, says Tomasson.
For every collective training session Isak goes through, he increases his chances of getting more match minutes.
Doesn't matter where someone plays
Jon Dahl Tomasson comments for the first time on Isak's record transfer.
I'm glad the guy is happy and that he's here now. For me, it doesn't matter where someone plays, the most important thing is that you play and that you thrive. And he does.
According to British media, the transfer landed at nearly 1.7 billion Swedish kronor.
It's a lot of money. Sometimes you feel "wow, that's too much". But that's the way it is, you have all the TV rights and there are foreign owners and then the market value is what it is, says Tomasson.
On Wednesday's training session, the intensity was increased. And with "JDT", a starting eleven against Slovenia (20.45 in Ljubljana) takes shape.
Will he start Isak alongside Viktor Gyökeres? Or will Isak get the role as a substitute? And who will play alongside Gyökeres then? Benjamin Nygren? Anthony Elanga?
