“I’d be worried if there wasn’t expectations. I certainly don’t believe in ever trying to play them down,” said Bellamy. “There’s definitely been a rebuild,” said Gudmundsson. “We are a small nation so we’re not going to produce fantastic players every year, it’s just not going to happen. The head coach has also recalled Joe Allen after the veteran Swansea City midfielder came out of international retirement.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina forward Albert Gudmundsson was acquitted of sexual assault charges in Reykjavik on Thursday and is now eligible to play for the national team. Iceland have won one of their 16 games in the Nations League , though it did come last month at home against Montenegro. Jon Thorsteinsson has scored two goals across his past four appearances for Iceland, just one fewer than across his 33 international caps prior – three of the past four goals he has have come in the Nations League.
