Struggles Saturday
Nygren generated one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 5-1 defeat to Netherlands.
Analysis: Nygren failed to get involved in the attack throughout Saturday's loss, he failed to put a shot on goal. None of the crosses were particularly threatening either, so the attacking midfielder failed to accomplish much. Sweden and Nygren will need to improve to bounce back from a brutal loss to the Netherlands here.
Swings in two crosses against Tunisia
Nygren (ankle) created one scoring chance and registered two crosses (one accurate), two successful take-ons and two corners in Sunday's 5-1 win against Tunisia.
Analysis: Nygren got the call over Lucas Bergvall and Anthony Elanga after overcoming a mild ankle sprain but was only a minor factor on offense and was dispossessed three times before being replaced at the 65th minute. He'll have to perform at a high level to retain the starting job, given the competition. He scored four goals and dished out one assist in 10 Europa League fixtures with Celtic in 2025/2026.
