Misses training with illness
Gudmundsson (illness) remained at the hotel and missed Tuesday's training session with Sweden due to mild illness symptoms, with the medical staff monitoring his condition, according to Fotbollskanalen.
Analysis: Gudmundsson had been expected to start at left-back for Sweden's World Cup opener against Tunisia on June 14, making his absence from training a concern for coach Graham Potter heading into the tournament. The nature of the symptoms has not been specified, and press officer Petra Thoren confirmed he has not been isolated from the rest of the squad, suggesting the situation is not considered serious at this stage. His availability for the opening fixture will depend on how quickly he recovers over the coming days.
Logs 64 minutes in friendly
Gudmundsson (hamstring) delivered two crosses (zero accurate) over 64 minutes of play during Thursday's international friendly game versus Greece.
Analysis: Gudmundsson returned from a one-month injury absence in time to get some action with his national team prior to the World Cup. The defender is expected to play a major role at left wing-back, with his inclusion leaving Daniel Svensson on the opposite flank and possibly pushing Alexander Bernhardsson to the bench. The Leeds United man has yet to score or assist over 17 appearances for his country since 2024, but he could be a source of playmaking and defensive output.
