Sweden will host France at Friends on 5 September and three days later Portugal will visit. Federation captain Janne Andersson has taken the squad to the two matches in the Nations League, which are played without an audience.

- We should know that we meet the world champion and the European champion. It is important to get things in place as well as possible. If we are to raw on them, we must do our personal best, we have done that before, says national team captain Janne Andersson.

Victor Claesson is back from injury, but has not been selected this time.

- He has made some inroads now. A quarter last Tuesday and 45 minutes last Saturday. That's what he played. But it looked like the old Vigge, it was great fun to see. It is exciting and I hope there will be no setback, says Janne Andersson at the press conference.

Helsingborg's team captain Andreas Granqvist has not been selected either, due to injury. And neither is John Guidetti.

- He feels in good shape and hopes it will be resolved with games now and we will see if there will be a change, he will fight and see if he is with next time, says Janne Andersson about Guidetti.
