Emil Krafth is long-term injured. Joel Andersson and Emil Holm are also missing.
Therefore, it is believed that Linus Wahlqvist Egnell, on a regular basis in Polish Pogon, will play from the start in Vienna.
Just as he did in the opening qualifying matches against Belgium (0–3) and Azerbaijan (5–0).
— It is clear that the chances may look better. However, I don’t take anything for granted, says Wahlqvist Egnell.
The 26-year-old had not played in the national team for several years when he was called up to the qualifying premiere. Now he looks set to start for the third competitive game in a row.
— I feel that I have entered the group and the way we want to play. A given place does not exist in a national team, you have to be at the top in the club team to get the chance here.
Wahlqvist Egnell describes the season as up and down, where good performances are mixed with illnesses.
Now he wants to finish it on top.
— The national team for me is a very big bonus. Everyone wants to play for their country, play championships and represent Sweden at the highest level. If I am in the starting eleven, I will do everything I can for our country to do very well.
