Lucas Bergvall has been named in what will be his first taste of a major international tournament whilst it has sadly come too soon for Dejan Kulusevski who has missed the entirety of this season with a knee injury.
Lucas, 20, has earned seven of his eight caps as a Spurs player and featured in both play-off matches as the Swedes beat Ukraine in the semi-final and Poland in the final to qualify for their first World Cup since 2018.
'Deki', who captained his nation for the majority of the UEFA Nations League C campaign that saw them qualify for the play-offs, hasn't kicked a ball in over a year having undergone surgery on his right patella (kneecap) following a serious injury against Crystal Palace on 11 May 2025.
National team head coach Graham Potter said it was a 'very difficult' decision to omit the 26-year-old forward from the final squad.
"A very, very difficult decision in terms of where he (Kulusevski) has been and what he's done over the last year, where he's at in terms of his rehab with four and a half weeks to go to that first game," Potter told a press conference.
Sweden have been drawn in Group F alongside the Netherlands, Japan and Tunisia and start their campaign against Tunisia on 15 June (3am UK) in Guadalupe, Mexico.
