Benjamin Nygren
24-Year-Old
Celtic
Swings in two crosses against Tunisia
Nygren (ankle) created one scoring chance and registered two crosses (one accurate), two successful take-ons and two corners in Sunday's 5-1 win against Tunisia.
ANALYSIS
Nygren got the call over Lucas Bergvall and Anthony Elanga after overcoming a mild ankle sprain but was only a minor factor on offense and was dispossessed three times before being replaced at the 65th minute. He'll have to perform at a high level to retain the starting job, given the competition. He scored four goals and dished out one assist in 10 Europa League fixtures with Celtic in 2025/2026.

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."
