Sweden lost 2-0 to Switzerland in a 2026 World Cup qualifying match. Viktor Gyokeres disappeared again and has now gone seven consecutive games without scoring, for club and country. The local press did not forgive the former Sporting player - who saw one of his agents comment on his departure from Alvalade.

"Missing from the first minute. Viktor Gyokeres started and looked good. But he tired quickly. And got sluggish. The number of mistakes increased and he ended up being one of the weakest on the pitch," reads a renowned Swedish newspaper.

Svenska Fans

"His form has been declining lately. We don’t know what’s going on, but he doesn’t seem to believe in himself much at the moment. He seems resigned and uncomfortable," wrote the portal, criticizing the former Sporting player’s performances.

"Sweden needed Gyokeres at his best in such a decisive World Cup qualifier, but he didn’t show up in the crucial moments," — another of many criticisms of the forward, who has had a tough time this season.
