Sweden to run rule over Rohlin

Linköping FC defender Charlotte Rohlin could make a push for inclusion in Sweden's FIFA Women's World Cup squad after being named in Thomas Dennerby's 20-player party for next month's Algarve Cup.

New system
The 26-year-old has four Under-21 caps but has never appeared for the seniors, who recently drew 2-2 against Japan and beat Scotland 1-0 in a mini-tournament in Cyprus. The Scandinavian side will face much sterner tests in southern Portugal where they tackle Finland, September's World Cup hosts China and fellow powerhouses the United States. Dennerby "will continue to use and learn from" the 4-3-3 system he deployed against Scotland but will be unable to call on star striker Hanna Ljungberg.

Cup final
The Umeå IK forward will not travel as she awaits scan results on a thigh injury. "I'll have to bide my time but hopefully I'll be OK. It's disappointing but I must get myself fully fit," said Ljungberg, whose club side meet Arsenal LFC in the final of the UEFA Women's Cup in April.
