Tuesday, November 6, 2007

Fredrik Ljungberg, Christian Wilhelmsson and Kennedy Bakircioglü are recalled to the Sweden squad for the Group F games against Spain and Latvia.

Fredrik Ljungberg, Christian Wilhelmsson and Kennedy Bakircioglü have all been recalled to the Sweden squad for their final two UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifiers against Spain and Latvia, in Madrid and Solna on 17 and 21 November respectively.

Returning trio
Lars Lagerbäck welcomes back the trio after spells sidelined with injury, although IFK Göteborg midfielder Niclas Alexandersson misses out, as does Birmingham City FC midfielder Sebastian Larsson after his surprise inclusion in the coach's last squad. Sweden are top of Group F and require just a point from their two remaining games to book their place at next summer's tournament in Austria and Switzerland.
