Emil Holm, Sweden's defender, will miss the World Cup due to a muscle injury, announced the Swedish Football Association (SVFF) on Saturday. Holm had been part of Graham Potter's squad set to compete this summer.

The 26-year-old, currently on loan from Bologna with Juventus, suffered the setback, ruling him out for several weeks. As a result, 28-year-old FC Dallas midfielder Herman Johansson has been called up to replace Holm in the national team.

Sweden kicks off their Group F matches against Tunisia in Guadalupe, Mexico, followed by clashes with the Netherlands in Houston and Japan in Arlington, Texas.
