Newcastle United's Anthony Elanga: Returns ahead of World Cup

Rotowire21 hours ago

Elanga (knee) was seen back in training with the Sweden squad, according to the federation.

Analysis:

Elanga's return to the training pitch is an encouraging development after the knee-on-knee collision that had raised immediate concerns following Thursday's draw against Greece. The Newcastle winger had played down the severity of the issue in the immediate aftermath, and his presence in training suggests the knock has settled as expected. Sweden will be relieved to have one of their key attacking options back in contention heading into the World Cup, with Elanga expected to start on the right wing under coach Graham Potter.
