Why Viktor Gyökeres missed Sweden training ahead of Bosnia and Herzegovina match

Viktor Gyökeres will miss Thursday’s training session with the national team. It is purely a precaution, press officer Petra Thorén says.

The plan is for Viktor Gyökeres, who has scored in four consecutive internationals, to train as usual again on Friday morning before the Blue and Yellows leave Valencia for Stockholm.

On Saturday, Sweden will host Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Nations League at the national arena in Solna.

It is unclear whether the Arsenal star is injured.

“There’s a reason for the precaution, but you also have to look at it over time. The assessment was that he needed a different workload from the team’s football training,” says Petra Thorén.

Alongside Gyökeres, Dejan Kulusevski and Benjamin Nygren also took part in Thursday’s sunny but windy training session.

Kulusevski is back with the national team for the first time in two years, and in his case, sitting out the training session was planned.
