Overview

• Sweden have taken one point from four World Cup qualifiers, leaving their campaign in serious jeopardy.
• A home defeat to Kosovo underscored the malaise, with Viktor Gyökeres failing to register a shot on target and Alexander Isak unable to convert.
• The national team manager has departed, and Talk Sport reports Graham Potter as an early contender, with Potter saying he would be open to the role.
• Arsenal view Gyökeres’ relentless running and pressing positively despite a modest three-goal start and a heavier workload following Kai Havertz’s knee injury.
• Havertz is reported to be nearing fitness, which would allow Mikel Arteta to rotate his strikers and potentially help Gyökeres regain form after a demanding opening spell following his £63 million move.
