‘Best in the world’ – Fans hail Celtic star after outstanding WCQ but fears over his fitness re-emerge

Sweden thrashed Luxembourg 8-nil on Saturday to put themselves within touching distance of a World Cup ticket.

France remain top of their group by a point following a 1-nil win over Bulgaria, but the Swedes can pip them to the automatic qualifying spot should they drop points against Belarus on Tuesday.

Sweden only need a draw against Netherlands to secure a place in the play-offs, but it remains to be seen if Celtic defender Mikael Lustig will be on hand to help them against the Dutch.

The right-back went off the pitch right after scoring the 5th goal against Luxembourg, and it appears he might have aggravated a calf knock that had prevented him from training earlier in the week.

Lustig was solid for the one hour duration he spent on the pitch, giving the minnows, that had drawn France last month, no chance.

His performance and injury were both a delight and concern for fans on Twitter.
