Janne Andersson thinks his Sweden squad should plan the births of their children so it doesn’t coincide with national duty, and especially not at the same time as teammates.
Taking a lighthearted look at his current doubts around the national team, Andersson explained that Albin Ekdal won’t be with the training group today because he’s just become a father.
There’s no indication when the 29 year old Sampdoria player will return to the fold.
Leeds United star Pontus Jansson is in a similar situation, with his partner due to give birth at any time, and Andersson is quoted by Aftonbladet as saying: “Pontus Jansson is also about to be a daddy. They are badly planning nowadays, the boys. We’ll see how things are with him.”
Jansson scored Leeds United’s crucial equaliser in a tough match against Brentford at the weekend, putting in a good all round performance.
