The Swedish national football team will gather in Stockholm on May 27 and will first meet Norway in Oslo on June 1, and a World Cup qualifier against Greece in Solna three days later.

But attacking star Viktor Gyökeres will miss both of these matches before leaving for the USA.

We have Viktor (Gyökeres), who has a pretty big match on the 30th. So he won't be available for the matches before the World Cup, says national team captain Graham Potter in connection with the presentation of the World Cup squad.

Gyökeres and Arsenal face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest.

Sweden begins the World Cup against Tunisia on June 15. The group stage then continues with matches against the Netherlands on June 20 and against Japan on June 26.
