Two players in Sweden's Euro 2020 squad, Dejan Kulusevski and Mattias Svanberg, are isolating after testing positive for Covid-19 on Tuesday.

Isaac Kiese Thelin, Jesper Karlsson, Joakim Nilsson, Jacob Rinne, Mattias Johansson and Niclas Hult will train alongside the 24 players in the main squad, under the supervision of Sweden Under-21 coach Poya Asbaghi.
