Ukraine v Sweden Match Preview

Group D: Monday 11th June 19:45

Yellow peril in Kiev for last of first Group set of games


Ukraine

The Ukraine squad has recovered from the bout of food poisoning that swept through the group and impacted their preparations for the tournament. Oleg Blokhin, their fourth coach in four years and a former Ballon D'Or winner, experimented during the recent defeats against Turkey and Austria. National hero Andriy Shevchenko may have to settle for a place on the bench.

Sweden

England's Euro 2012 debut may be the main event for many fans, but for fantasy football aficionados Sweden's trip to Ukraine could offer more excitement. That's because the co-hosts are seen as the weakest side in the tournament and Zlatan Ibrahimovic could take full advantage. Early reports suggest Johan Elmander will be among the substitutes, despite recovering from a fractured metatarsal.
