The official Sweden national team account has tweeted a photo of Filip Helander in Glasgow in response to a query from a Rangers fan.
Helander had a strong season at club level, making 31 appearances, scoring three goals and contributing to a plethora of clean sheets as the Light Blues won the Premiership title and progressed deep into the Europa League.
However, he missed the last few matches of the campaign through an injury that contributed to him losing his place at international level.
The 15-cap centre-back missed out completely on two Euro 2020 warm-up fixtures and was an unused substitute in all three of Sweden’s Group E matches.
His chances of coming back into the side for their Last 16 clash with Ukraine on Tuesday look slim but he’s still very much a part of the group and is back on familiar turf ahead of the game, as it takes place at Hampden Park.
Sweden travelled to Glasgow on Monday, with the national team’s Twitter account updating fans on their travels with a snap of midfielder Albin Ekdal.
One Rangers fan wasn’t satisfied with that update, though, as Helander didn’t feature in the image, and he replied to the post asking where the 28-year-old was.
It took the Sweden admin a while to deliver, but the account responded in the evening with a shot of the Ibrox star being put through his paces in training, along with the caption ‘here he is’.
Helander and co. earned a relatively kind draw by finishing top of their group and they will see Tuesday’s tie against Ukraine as very winnable, given that the Eastern European nation are six places behind them (24th) in the FIFA world rankings.
Meanwhile, Rangers have been dealt a pair of transfer blows with one reported target allegedly agreeing a new deal at his current club and another set for a medical at a Premier League side.
