Struggles Saturday
Nygren generated one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 5-1 defeat to Netherlands.
ANALYSIS
Nygren failed to get involved in the attack throughout Saturday's loss, he failed to put a shot on goal. None of the crosses were particularly threatening either, so the attacking midfielder failed to accomplish much. Sweden and Nygren will need to improve to bounce back from a brutal loss to the Netherlands here.

Ankle knock forces early exit
Nygren (ankle) was substituted after 60 minutes of Thursday's 2-2 draw against Greece after being tackled and twisting his ankle, leaving the pitch limping and without his left shoe, though the Sweden forward expressed confidence that the issue is not serious, according to Aftonbladet. "On the moment, it hurt. We were going to make changes anyway, so we preferred safety over uncertainty. It's still fine. You've already sprained your foot, so you can feel the difference. I can walk, move, balance on one leg. It's fine."
