Sweden boss Erik Hamren has announced his final 23-man squad for the European Championship, with the absence of Feyenoord in-form striker John Guidetti likely to raise some eyebrows.

The highly rated youngster impressed on his national team debut against Croatia, but Hamren eventually opted to leave the player out of the squad because of a thigh injury.

Markus Rosenberg returns to the side following a three-year absence, whereas West Brom full-back Jonas Olsson is set to take part in his first major tournament.

Olympiakos defender Olof Mellberg has already revealed plans to retire from international football after this tournament, while Anders Svensson and Cristian Wilhelmsson could follow in his footsteps.

Sweden face a tough task in a group with Ukraine, England and France, but they are determined to give it a go and try to qualify for the quarter-finals.

“It will be an exciting challenge,” said Hamrén. “It is a tough and uncertain group. We could play three really good matches and still not progress.

“Our first ambition is to qualify for a quarter-final. But if we do, we will not start celebrating. We dream of medals.”

Sweden are not exactly favourites to go through, but they look a good bet to qualify at 3.00 (2/1) offered by Stan James.
