Man Utd defender Lindelof named new Sweden captain
Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has been named new captain of Sweden.
Lindelof was announced national team skipper by the Swedish FA this morning.
Sweden coach Jan Andersson confirmed: "Victor was the natural choice.
"He has shown time and again how important he is to us on and off the pitch. I think he had an incomparable tournament (Euro 2020) and has the leadership qualities necessary to be captain."
Lindelof succeeds Andreas Granqvist, who retired after the Euros.
