Celtic midfielder Benjamin Nygren has been isolated from the Sweden squad alongside Brighton's Yasin Ayari and Gustaf Lagerbielke after developing cold symptoms. All three players missed training ahead of Friday's Nations League clash against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sweden press officer Petra Thoren confirmed the isolation measures to prevent further illness, noting it is too early to determine if they will travel for the match.

Meanwhile, Celtic defender Auston Trusty was involved in a late scuffle during the United States' 4-2 victory against Chile in St Louis. The confrontation began when Chile's Leandro Hernandez tried kicking the ball from goalkeeper Brian Schwake's hands, sparking a heated brawl involving both benches that USA manager Mauricio Pochettino later described as a "crazy situation."
