Forward Viktor Gyökeres pulls out of Sweden squad with injury
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Viktor Gyokeres has pulled out of Sweden's squad for upcoming friendlies against Hungary and Algeria because of an injury.
The Swedish Football Association said the injury was 'minor' without elaborating.
Sporting Lisbon striker Gyökeres left the national team training base in Bosön after being assessed by team medics.
Gyökeres has just completed an outstanding season for Lisbon — scoring 48 goals and winning the Portuguese league and cup double. He has established himself as one of the top strikers in world soccer, sparking speculation about a transfer to one of Europe's giants during the offseason.
Arsenal has been heavily linked, with the Premier League club expected to move for a top-class forward in the transfer window. Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko is another reported target.
Sweden plays Hungary on June 6 and Algeria on June 10.
