Sweden’s journey to reach the 2026 World Cup has been anything but normal. “It’ll be interesting to see how Potter integrates them both...It’s important that they get the space they need and that they are both happy,” Frida said.Sweden is a nation which has long produced world class strikers such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrik Larsson, and their current generation of frontmen are no different.He could deploy Isak and Gyokeres as a strike partnership or play Isak in a more withdrawn role alongside Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga.While Graham Potter’s club sides have been known for playing attractive, expansive football, his Sweden team will likely be slightly more pragmatic.“It came to a point when Potter took over that we realised we have to abandon this experiment of trying to play more attacking football.“We realised we have to play like Sweden with an emphasis on defensive play,” Frida said.Their two strikers will not be the only names recognisable to Premier League fans.

At 22 and 20 respectively, their best years are ahead of them, and they will likely be mainstays in the Sweden team for years to come.Away from the Premier League, Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren will provide a goal threat should Potter use him. Their last World Cup match was a quarter final defeat in 2018 to Gareth Southgate ’s England.They have been placed in a tough Group F alongside the Netherlands, Japan and Tunisia.“The first game against Tunisia is absolutely key,” Frida said.

The Netherlands and Japan are both ranked above Sweden in the World Rankings, but Japan are travelling to the World Cup without several key players.Getting out of the group will be the aim for Sweden, having done so in every World Cup they have featured in since Italia ‘90. For Sweden to have a strong run at this tournament, they will need a level of team spirit which has been lacking in recent years.“I think we’ll reach the round of 16 and that’s me being optimistic,” Frida said.Sweden begin their World Cup campaign against Tunisia in Monterrey on June 15.
