The pair, who are on international duty with Sweden and Bosnia & Herzegovina respectively, have both missed training this week.
Swedish media outlet Aftonbladet reported that right-back Lustig was forced to watch on in training after suffering a knock and could miss their qualifiers against Luxembourg and Holland, though it is suggested it may only have been a precaution.
