Man Utd defender Lindelof to be left at home by Sweden

Sweden manager Janne Andersson is set to leave Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof in England for the upcoming international round.

Sweden have a friendly against Denmark, followed by UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and France.

Andersson told Fotbollskanalen when asked about players' workload: “With him [Viktor Claesson], and many others, the load level is different.

"Players like Marcus Berg, Kristoffer Olsson, Emil Forsberg and Victor Lindelöf have had an almost brutal fixture list towards the end.

“We have to be very careful and responsive about those players when we gather together."
