Tottenham Hotspur's Lucas Bergvall says Sweden manager Graham Potter will have to make a decision on his minutes ahead of the clash with Poland.
The midfielder was a regular under Thomas Frank, playing 26 matches under the Dane's orders and scoring one goal and four assists.
Tottenham parted ways with the manager in February and appointed Igor Tudor until the end of the season.
Bergvall has not featured regularly under Tudor due to injury. On 20 January, he suffered an ankle injury in Spurs' 2–0 Champions League win at home to Borussia Dortmund.
last month, the potter said It will be difficult for him to be fit in time for the current international break.
However, he returned to the field in Tottenham's 3–2 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid last week. At the weekend, he again came off the bench in Spurs' 3–0 league defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Despite his earlier doubts, Potter added the young player to his list. Bergvall played 13 minutes in Sweden's 3-1 win over Ukraine in the World Cup playoffs on Thursday.
The Tottenham man proved the doubters wrong
After yesterday's match, soccer channel Talked to Lucas Bergvall about his fitness and other topics.
On his early return from injury and his place in the national team, he said: "It's been tough. But it was incredibly fun to come back and we won.
"Yes, it happened quickly. But it's hard to say when you get an injury like that. It varies from person to person as to how quickly it goes. I was lucky that I came back in time."
The main goal of the Tottenham Hotspur player was to get a place in Graham Potter's team.
"Yes, it is. And that was the goal. To get back to the national team. I think most people had written me off when I had the injury. I tried to rehab as quickly as possible and get back." Bergvall explained.
Sweden must beat Poland on Tuesday to book a place in the World Cup. The midfielder, for his part, feels ready to start in this important encounter.
"It depends on the coach but I am ready," He added.
Ahead of tomorrow's match, Potter said the Spurs man is "extremely important" to the national team.
On this comment Bergvall said: "Did he say that about me? First of all, it's incredibly funny to hear him say that. I'm just trying to come here and help the team as much as I can after the injury. I can contribute as much as I can so that we can get to the World Cup."
