Expected available after cramp
Gudmundsson (cramp) was forced off in the 65th minute of Sweden's 5-1 victory over Tunisia but coach Graham Potter played down any injury concerns after the match, per Leeds live. "It was a cramp."
Analysis: Gudmundsson had already been managing a hamstring issue sustained during the FA Cup semifinal with Leeds and had only played one game in seven weeks before starting against Tunisia, making his early exit an immediate concern. Manager Graham Potter's brief but reassuring update suggests the substitution was precautionary rather than the result of any significant setback, giving Sweden confidence that their left wingback will be available for Saturday's clash against the Netherlands. Gudmundsson impressed defensively during his time on the pitch, recording a team-high five clearances and three successful aerial duels, and Sweden will hope the five-day rest between fixtures is sufficient for him to be fully available for what would be a potentially tournament-defining fixture.
Leaves with discomfort
Gudmundsson recorded 65 minutes of play in Sunday's match against Tunisia but was unable to stay on the pitch due to an apparent physical issue.
Analysis: Gudmundsson made his comeback from an illness and got involved in both attacking and defensive actions with two crosses (one accurate), five clearances and two tackles (one won) Sunday. However, he asked to be subbed off, leaving doubts about whether he was dealing with a muscular problem or a mere fatigue. The wing-back could once again be questionable for Sweden's second game of the tournament against the Netherlands. If an injury is confirmed, Elliot Stroud and Daniel Svensson will be the main candidates to fill in.
