Lineup Reveal: Elanga Pairs with Gyokeres Leading the Attack for Sweden Versus Ukraine

Graham Potter opts to maintain the 4-4-2 formation used in his initial pair of games last November, selecting the Newcastle United forward to line up with Gyokeres in attack.

As Benjamin Nygren and Herman Johansson take midfield berths, Elangas inclusion provides Blagult with ample width on the flanks, while Sweden aims to capitalise on the Arsenal linked striker who has yet to net for his country in 2024.

The keepers spot came as no shock, since the manager had confirmed that 36 year old Kristoffer Nordfeldt would feature, earning only his 19th appearance since first playing in 2011.

Victor Lindelof is back to lead as captain at the heart of the backline, partnered by Isak Hien.

Goalkeeper: Kristoffer Nordfeldt

Defenders: Gustaf Lagerbielke, Isak Hien, Victor Lindelof (c), Gabriel Gudmundsson

Midfielders: Herman Johansson, Yasin Ayari, Jesper Karlstrom, Benjamin Nygren

Forwards: Anthony Elanga, Viktor Gyokeres
