Overview

• Sweden sit bottom of Group B with one point from four matches after defeats to Kosovo (twice) and Switzerland.
• The 1-0 home loss to Kosovo in Gothenburg was the third straight defeat and prompted an extraordinary SvFF board meeting on Tuesday.
• Chairman Simon Åström said results were not good enough, with the association moving to give the squad the best chance of reaching a World Cup playoff.
• The team have scored only two goals in qualifying despite featuring high-profile attackers Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres.
• Two qualifiers remain — at Switzerland then home to Slovenia — with a possible playoff path in March via the Nations League.
