Swedish manager Jon-Dahl Tomason already had a falling out with what should be our best central midfielder in the coming years Hugo Larsson. Been sent home due to an "injury" after not being picked against Azerbaijan despite Tomason playing 5 other CM's in that game. German media now claiming he is not injured... Bit messy and Sweden doesn't have the squad to afford stuff like this. Really don't want another Zetterberg, Zlatan or Forsberg situation where a top player refuses to play/isn't picked. Tomason really need the performances and results to improve if he intends to play big boss.

Update from September 8, 2024, 1:09 p.m.: According to information from fussball.news , Hugo Larsson is expected to be in Eintracht Frankfurt's team training on Tuesday. The midfield engine is said to have not suffered an injury. In this respect, the reasons for his actual departure from the Swedish national team remain to be seen.

Larsson leaves the Swedish national team early

According to the official statement, Larsson has been diagnosed with a "minor injury." The midfielder will return to Eintracht Frankfurt early to begin his rehabilitation.

 

The former VfB Stuttgart striker (2005-2007) justified his decision not to use Larsson after the match against Azerbaijan by saying that the youngster played too few vertical passes. "I told Hugo - and I saw all the games he played in the previous season - that I wanted more vertical passes," the public broadcaster Sveriges Television quoted the coach as saying.

As a result, Larsson complained about Tomasson's public criticism, according to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet . "I also told him that I would have liked it if it had stayed between us or within the team. Some things should stay in the family, and that is not the case," the Eintracht professional clarified.

Of course, it remains speculative whether Larsson left the national team early because of the brief argument with Tomasson. After being benched against Azerbaijan and the clear statements from both parties, the announcement of his departure still raises questions.

2 games, 2 wins, 65 shots on goal

Nothing to criticise if honest

18 shots on goal...

It's all out attack with no defense or midfield against 2 sides ranked outside the top 100. But yeah we won, its a work in progress. Our goalie was motm against Azerbaijan.
