Arsenal monitor Viktor Gyökeres as Sweden manage players’ training loads

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres is among the Sweden players whose fitness is being monitored ahead of Saturday's UEFA Nations League meeting with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Swedish media have reported that the 28-year-old followed an individual training programme during the international camp, raising questions about his availability.

However, no new injury has been officially confirmed.

Sweden are preparing for two decisive Nations League fixtures, with Graham Potter's side facing Bosnia and Herzegovina on 14 November before travelling to Poland three days later.

According to reports attributed to Fotbollskanalen, Gyökeres was among the players whose workload was managed separately from the main group.

Tottenham midfielder Dejan Kulusevski and Benjamin Nygren were also named in the reports.

Sweden press officer Petra Thorén was quoted as describing the arrangements for Gyökeres and Nygren as precautionary.

"In the case of Nygren and Gyökeres, it's a precautionary measure," she reportedly said.

"The plan is for them to participate tomorrow."

Those comments suggest Sweden were not treating the situation as a confirmed serious injury.

However, the exact timing of the reported training absence requires clarification.

Swedish broadcaster SVT reported that all selected players were present at Wednesday's training session, although several had followed individual programmes earlier in the camp.

The Swedish Football Association has not announced a specific injury diagnosis for Gyökeres.

Gyökeres has faced strong competition for playing time at Arsenal this season, making his fitness particularly important as the club prepares to resume domestic and European action.

Any interruption to his training schedule would be unwelcome for Mikel Arteta, although an individual session does not necessarily indicate a significant physical problem.

Potter is also managing Kulusevski's return after a lengthy knee injury layoff.

The Tottenham midfielder was recalled to Sweden's squad for November, with his workload being carefully controlled.

Sweden's preparations continue on Friday before Saturday's match at Strawberry Arena.

The national team currently lead their Nations League group with ten points from four matches.

Friday's training session and Potter's pre-match press conference should provide further clarity on Gyökeres' availability for Saturday's match.
