Potter Hints Nordfeldt Will Start Thursday

Sweden have not officially confirmed their starting goalkeeper for Thursday's World Cup warm up against Greece. However, Graham Potter may have accidentally revealed his thinking after the defeat to Norway. The Sweden manager explained that the coaching staff did not want Kristoffer Nordfeldt to play both matches during the international camp. That comment immediately sparked speculation that the AIK goalkeeper is being saved for Thursday's fixture. While the decision remains unconfirmed, Nordfeldt now appears to be the leading candidate to start between the posts.

Potter's Comment Raises Eyebrows

After Sweden's loss to Norway, Potter discussed the goalkeeper situation and appeared to indicate that the staff had a specific plan for Kristoffer Nordfeldt. The remark was interpreted by several reporters as a clue that the experienced goalkeeper could be selected against Greece.

Sweden have yet to publish an official starting eleven, meaning the goalkeeper decision remains a lineup watch rather than a confirmed selection.

What It Means For Johansson And Widell Zetterstrom

Viktor Johansson and Jacob Widell Zetterstrom remain available and have not been ruled out. Widell Zetterstrom featured against Norway, while Johansson continues to be viewed as one of Sweden's strongest goalkeeping options.

Potter's comments do not officially confirm Nordfeldt's place, but they provide the strongest indication yet regarding Sweden's likely choice.
