The Swedish women's national football team is gathered in Göteborg for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Denmark and Serbia. Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, 29, did not train with the team on Wednesday due to a calf issue, according to reports. She has missed Chelsea's last two matches and is reportedly an uncertain player for the qualifiers.
National team coach Tony Gustavsson stated that the decision on her participation will be made closer to the match against Denmark on April 14. The team is also without several experienced players: Magdalena Eriksson, Linda Sembrant, and Jonna Andersson have retired, while Kosovare Asllani is reportedly injured with a cruciate ligament issue and Nathalie Björn is also injured. Gustavsson mentioned that the team is early in a process of rebuilding with younger players and that leadership roles are being addressed, with a new captain to replace Asllani reportedly decided but not yet announced to the squad.
