Benjamin Nygren

Injury not serious

Nygren (ankle) isn't a major doubt for the World Cup opener according to Swedish assistant Sebastian Larsson."We have been together all pre-camp and had various training and matches. With the travel day yesterday, it's all about getting the guys together. It's nothing to worry about, absolutely not."

Analysis: Nygren sparked some worry about his availability to open the tournament when he was forced off with an ankle issue, but it doesn't appear the injury is that serious. The forward should be fit and ready to go for the opener, where he's expected to play a key role for the Swedish side in his first World Cup.
