Benjamin Nygren is set to star for Sweden tonight as they face fellow unbeaten Nations League side Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Nygren will aim to earn his 18th cap for the Swedes, who are currently top of Group B4 thanks to three wins and a draw.
The Celtic star’s last appearance for his homeland saw him open the scoring in a 3-1 win over Poland in September.

The 25-year-old was absent from their latest two matches after a virus spread within the squad. He’s back in contention, with head coach Graham Potter saying all players are fit and available for tonight’s clash, as per Sports Mole.
Bosnia are just two points behind Sweden in their group, with top spot meaning automatic promotion to League A. The side that finishes second would drop into the promotion playoffs.
Nygren has featured 21 times for Celtic so far this season, scoring eight and assisting six. He was denied a ninth goal last weekend after having his penalty saved against Kilmarnock. The Hoops won 1-0 thanks to Liam Scales’ first-half header.
It’s unclear whether Nygren will start for his homeland in tonight’s 7.45 pm kick-off, but his international boss has removed any doubts over any injury concerns.
Sweden will end their Nations League campaign against Poland on November 17, and are currently in a strong position to end their group stage campaign on top.
