Blues loanee Jens Cajuste has been named in the Sweden squad for their Nations League games next month.

The Swedes face a trip to Azerbaijan on Thursday 5th September and then a home match against Estonia on the following Sunday.

Cajuste, who is on loan with Town for the season from Napoli, has previously won 23 full caps.

If he plays, Cajuste will become the first player to win a Sweden cap while with the Blues.

The midfielder could make his Town debut in the Carabao Cup tie at AFC Wimbledon this evening.

Steve_ITFC_Sweden added 15:50 - Aug 28 Sweden's national team is maybe not in the best of shape at the moment, but usually they are quite a stubborn opponent. Cajuste has played for Sweden 23 times, which must say something. Others that play or have played for PL clubs include Krafth (Newcastle), Gyökeres (Brighton), Kulusevski (Spurs), Elanga (Forest). My point is that any player representing Sweden is not L1 or L2 level - they are likely to be much better than that. So I have high hopes Cajuste will shine for us.

Van_Blue added 15:54 - Aug 28 I think this also gives an indication of why we need a strong completive squad, as more players go of on international duty there is additional risk of injury. Need strong cover for these players.

BlueSwede added 16:10 - Aug 28 Steve_ITFC_Sweden - In this ssquad, Sema (Watford), Augustinsson (Aston Villa), Ayari (Brighton), Bergvall (Tottenham) and Nordfeldt (Swansea) have also played games in the Premier League, but Gyökeres never played a leaguegame for Brighton, only in cupgames as I remember. I agree with you that I hope - and think - that Cajuste is a good loan for us.

Steve_ITFC_Sweden added 17:06 - Aug 28 Thanks Blue Swede and Kulturarv. I was only giving some examples, but I shouldn't have left out Isak. If he'd like to sign for us, I'd be very happy indeed! -:)

samsonblue added 10:16 - Aug 29 It is great for the lad, but having just joined the team I would love it if he would say NO and stay and fight for first team place in squad over next 2 weeks.
