Sweden have been dealt a blow after star-striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic picked up a back problem during their 1-0 loss at the hands of Russia, which has potentially ruled the Paris Saint-Germain forward out of Tuesday's match against with Austria.
Ibrahimovic was replaced at half time by Ola Toivonen, with Russia already leading the game 1-0 through an Artyom Dzyuba strike.
The former Inter Milan forward picked up the knock after clashing with Alan Dzagoev, while admitting that he was not sure whether he would be playing in Tuesday's Euro 2016 qualification match.
"I immediately felt that I had been struck in the ribs," he told reporters.
"I will see on Sunday how I feel."
Sweden sit second in Group G, five points behind leaders Austria who are on 19 points from seven matches.
