Viktor Gyokeres joins Sweden national team to regain confidence

Summary

Viktor Gyokeres has been named in Sweden's squad for four upcoming international matches, starting against Romania on September 25. The forward's form at Arsenal has been inconsistent, with limited playing time in the Premier League this season. Gyokeres has played more minutes in the Champions League and League Cup but is seeking to improve his confidence. With 21 goals in 37 international appearances, he aims to capitalize on this opportunity to regain his scoring touch before returning to Arsenal.
