Why Leeds United hero Gabriel Gudmundsson missed Sweden training before the World Cup

Gabriel Gudmundsson missed Sweden's training on Tuesday due to illness, not the hamstring issue that ended his Leeds United season. The left-back tore his hamstring in the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley, and rehabilitation ran longer than two weeks, costing him the final four matches. Gudmundsson had returned last week and played 64 minutes in a 2-2 friendly with Greece as Sweden prepared for the World Cup. The team has now travelled to Dallas, with Sweden opening against Tunisia in Monterrey on Monday at 3am UK time, then meeting the Netherlands and Ao Tanaka's Japan at midnight on 26 June.
