Krafth played the entire match when Sweden beat Spain 2-1 on Thursday, but then left the World Cup qualifying squad to become a father for the second time.
It was uncertain whether the 27-year-old would make it back in time for tonight's qualifying match away against Greece, but that now seems to be the case.
- I have sat in meetings so I do not know if he has landed yet, but he is at least on his way, says Sweden's national team manager Stefan Pettersson to Fotbollskanalen.
Whether Emil Krafth will start the match in Athens is up to Janne Andersson.
Yesterday, the league captain opened to wait a long time for his first choice in the right-back position.
- Emil showed such good form last time that I would like to be with him.
We get to read what's happening.
If he arrives quite early, the chances increase that he will start, otherwise maybe he can join in and get in, Andersson said.
Greece – Sweden kicks off at 20.45 tonight.
