Four players were missing from the closed training session

On Thursday, the World Cup playoff against the Czech Republic awaits at Friends arena.

The winner will in turn face Poland away in a crucial match where the winner will be ready for the World Cup in Qatar.

But in the closed training, four players were missing.

Marcus Danielson, Emil Krafth, Daniel Sundgren and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"We will not go further into the players' status", announces the national team's media manager Jakob Kakembo Andersson.

Ibrahimovic and Krafth are suspended for Thursday's match and thus not available regardless.

In the absence of the right-back, Sundgren is a potential starting player.

Zlatan will attend a press conference at 2.30 pm today.
