To the surprise of many, Hugo Larsson was left out of Sweden’s squad for the upcoming World Cup, announced on Tuesday.
Sporting Frankfurt board member Markus Kroche reacted to Graham Potter’s decision in a statement posted on the club’s website on Wednesday morning, making clear his disbelief.

“From a sporting point of view, this decision cannot be explained at all. Hugo has reached the highest level over the past few years, performed consistently and is one of the absolute key players in our team,” Crosher said.
“Thirty-four competitive games this season have made this clear. Anyone who ignores these performances sends the wrong signal to every professional player who works hard every week. For us, it is clear: Hugo is fully worthy of the call-up. This decision is not only incomprehensible, but in our opinion it is completely wrong.”
Larsson, 21, has made 12 appearances for the Swedish national team. He was named in the squad for the World Cup play-offs against Ukraine and Poland in March but did not feature in either match.
