Man Utd defender Lindelof returns to Sweden squad for Greece clash

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has returned to the Sweden squad after the birth of his second child.

The 27-year-old missed his country's World Cup qualifier against Kosovo at the weekend.

The Sweden captain is now back in training with his country, with the Swedish Football Federation posting confirmation via their official Twitter account.

Lindelof was appointed skipper of Sweden over the summer and is expected to wear the armband when the Scandinavians face Greece on Tuesday evening.

A win will move Sweden top of Group B in the World Cup qualifying stage, two points ahead of Spain with two games remaining.
