Gyökeres nets fourth straight as Sweden beat Romania in Nations League

Viktor Gyökeres continued his hot streak for Sweden in the Nations League, scoring from a rebound against Romania to register a fourth successive game with a goal and secure Sweden’s third win of the group stage.

The strike comes amid a lack of regular minutes for Gyökeres at club level this season; he has been starved of playing time with Arsenal and, according to the report, has only started outside of the Premier League so far this term.

Arsenal's attacking selection faces uncertainty after Kai Havertz sustained a hamstring injury while on international duty with Germany and is described in the report as a huge doubt to face Leeds United on Saturday afternoon. The article states that manager Mikel Arteta has a personal preference for Havertz up front and added that Gyökeres “deserves to make his first league start of the season for the Gunners if Havertz does not recover in time,” concluding, “we would personally start Gyokeres due to his rich vein of form in recent weeks.”

WHAT HAPPENED

KEY CONTEXT
