Scores against Greece
Gyokeres (undisclosed) was brought down from behind by a dangerous tackle from Panagiotis Retsos during Thursday's 2-2 draw against Greece but was able to continue after receiving medical treatment on the pitch, with coach Graham Potter acknowledging it was not a brilliant tackle and that it looked ugly from the bench, according to Aftonbladet. "Of course you get irritated after a tackle like that. But it can happen, so there is nothing more to it," Gyokeres said.
ANALYSIS
Gyokeres netted Sweden's equalizer to level the score at 1-1 before the incident took place, and although he was clearly in discomfort afterward, he stayed on the pitch and showed no signs of any lasting issue. Teammate Alexander Isak, along with former internationals Lars Lagerback and Fredrik Ljungberg, were far more vocal in their criticism of the challenge, with Isak saying it was the kind of play nobody wants to see in a World Cup tune-up. Sweden heads to North America this weekend with its opener against Tunisia just 10 days away, and Gyokeres appears to have escaped without any serious setback, leaving the star striker firmly in place as the centerpiece of the attack and the biggest key to how far Blagult can make a run this summer.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could force out loan move
Gyokeres is willing to join another club on loan for the 2025/26 season if his move to Arsenal doesn't materialize in the coming weeks, according to The Sun.
ANALYSIS
Gyokeres has decided to join Arsenal, rather than another club in the Premier League. The other thing he has already decided is that he won't play for Sporting CP in 2025/26, so he's open to waiting until the end of the summer window to get a loan deal to another European club if his move to the Emirates Stadium doesn't happen.
