Good to go Sunday
Elanga (knee) is available for Sunday's clash with Tunisia, according to manager Graham Potter. "All players are available and ready to play (against Tunisia). I have a pretty clear picture of what the starting eleven will look like and have had it for a while."
Analysis: Elanga picked up a knee contusion at the start of the Swedish training camp, but it appears his recovery has gone as expected. He's back fit and available for the opening clash with Tunisia, where he should be an option in the attack. Elanga will likely be a bench option to start, but he should get his chances off the bench in attacking midfield and as a wide option if needed.
Returns ahead of World Cup
Elanga (knee) was seen back in training with the Sweden squad, according to the federation.
Analysis: Elanga's return to the training pitch is an encouraging development after the knee-on-knee collision that had raised immediate concerns following Thursday's draw against Greece. The Newcastle winger had played down the severity of the issue in the immediate aftermath, and his presence in training suggests the knock has settled as expected. Sweden will be relieved to have one of their key attacking options back in contention heading into the World Cup, with Elanga expected to start on the right wing under coach Graham Potter.
