Sweden will be missing a number of their star players for Thursday's World Cup warm-up clash with Finland at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg.
Coach Lars Lagerback has chosen to rest his first-choice strike pairing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrik Larsson following gruelling seasons with Juventus and Barcelona, respectively.
Ibrahimovic may appear from the bench, however, with Markus Rosenberg and Johan Elmander being handed starting roles up front. As expected, midfielder Freddie Ljungberg, who has been struggling with a foot injury and has been unable to train properly, is not risked, while goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson (knee) is restricted to a place among the substitutes.
