Gabriel Gudmundsson has told Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson he is 'flying' despite picking up a minor knock during Leeds United's weekend draw against Newcastle United.

Gudmundsson was forced off around the 80-minute mark on Saturday evening after another impressive display at left-back, with fellow summer arrival James Justin on to replace him. The 26-year-old was solid defensively and tireless going forward, playing through the pain of his injury before coming off.

Concerns over anything severe were quickly allayed as Gudmundsson jetted off to join the Sweden squad ahead of two 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo, a flight he wouldn't have been expected to take with fitness issues. And speaking ahead of tonight's fixture against Slovenia, head coach Tomasson confirmed his defender is good to go.
