Today the Sweden coach Janne Andersson named his squad for their upcoming games, with England based players Pontus Jansson and Sebastian Larsson both called up. Leeds United’s Jansson and Sunderland’s Larsson will be hoping to make their mark for different reasons.
Sunderland’s Larsson will also be looking to make an impact after missing recent Swedish squads due to injury. The attacking midfielder has missed a large chunk of the season due to a knee problem, and will be looking to force his way back into Andersson’s plans. Larsson is no longer guaranteed a place in the starting eleven.
However, Jansson and Larsson will not be joined by Swansea City’s Martin Olsson after Anderson confirmed the Swansea City star wouldn’t be involved next week. The Sweden boss revealed the ankle injury he picked up at the weekend against Hull City has ruled the player out because the medical report he received stated the player was unlikely to return.
