Sweden have named six British-based players in their 23-man squad for the World Cup in Russia.

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof and Leeds United centre-back Pontus Jansson make the cut.

They are joined by Swansea defender Martin Olsson and goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Celtic full-back Mikael Lustig and Hull's Sebastian Larsson.
