In the 1-1 meeting at home with CSKA Moscow, the midfielder made his first full match since the knee injury in Sweden's European Championship qualifier against Spain in November last year.

Before that, the 28-year-old played 15 minutes in the comeback against Arsenal Tula and in the match after, against Ural Yekaterinburg, he was substituted until the start of the second half.

Olsson and Berg played

Club friends Kristoffer Olsson and Marcus Berg - the duo are part of Andersson's squad - played just like Claesson the whole match against the Moscow club.

Sweden meets France at Friends arena on September 5 and three days later Portugal is also waiting at home. In the October gathering, when Claesson can be back in the national team, a training match against Russia awaits before the Nations League continues with Croatia at home and Portugal away.
