Sweden squad confirmed

11/05/2006: Lars Lagerback has made a couple of surprise choices to represent Sweden in World Cup 2006 which starts on June 9.

The major surprise was the omission of Southampton defender Alexander Ostlund and the inclusion of IFK Gothenburg's Karl Svensson and Fredrik Stenman, who has played consistently well in his first season with Bayer Leverkusen but has still to make his Swedish debut.

An extra surprise was the call-up for Rami Shaaban, once of Arsenal, as one of the three goalies.

"It is quite easy to pick out 15 to 16 players but we had most discussion about the goalkeepers and the defence," said Lagerback.
