Gabriel Gudmundsson has been named in the Sweden squad for this month’s UEFA Nations League fixtures against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Poland.

Leeds United confirmed the 27-year-old defender’s selection on Wednesday, with the full-back set to join Graham Potter’s squad for the November internationals.

Sweden face top-two clash in Stockholm

Sweden host Bosnia and Herzegovina in Stockholm on Saturday 14 November, with kick-off at 7:45pm, before travelling to Wroclaw to face Poland on Tuesday 17 November, also at 7:45pm.

Blagult go into the break top of their group after winning three and drawing one of their opening four matches. They hold a two-point lead over second-placed Bosnia and Herzegovina, so the Stockholm meeting could decide first place.

The opener could also give Gabriel Gudmundsson a meeting with a club teammate. Should Tarik Muharemovic also be called up by Bosnia and Herzegovina, the two Leeds defenders would be on opposing sides in Stockholm.

Gabriel Gudmundsson targeting a 33rd senior cap

Gabriel Gudmundsson has established himself as an important member of the national set-up, earning 32 senior caps. His most recent appearance came in last month’s 1-0 victory over Romania.

The full-back, who missed the start of the season with a hamstring injury, has been a regular for Daniel Farke’s side since his return and told BBC Radio Leeds last month that the squad were confident and “on a good path”.

His call-up comes days after Leeds’ 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth.

How many of Sweden's two November games will Gudmundsson start?

Will Gudmundsson start both games for Sweden, and can they hold on to top spot in the group?
