Sick pup gets cry of woe back in Swedish city (7)
I believe the answer is:
uppsala
'swedish city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sick pup gets cry of woe back' is the wordplay.
'sick' indicates anagramming the letters.
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cry of woe' becomes 'alas' (I've seen this in another clue).
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'alas' in reverse letter order is 'sala'.
'pup' anagrammed gives 'upp'.
'upp'+'sala'='UPPSALA'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for uppsala that I've seen before include "City in Sweden" , "Would the Swedish city appal us?" , "City NW of Stockholm" , "Town with oldest Swedish university" .)
