Sweden prepare for Wednesday Test

Erik Hamrén takes charge of Sweden for the first time tomorrow night with a trip to World Champions Italy. The Italians have qualified for the World cup next year having beaten the Republic of Ireland to top spot in Group 8. On the back of a 0-0 draw with Holland an Saturday, the Italians continue their preparations tomorrow night.
Sweden missed out on qualification and are looking to build a team for the Euro 2012 qualifiers next autumn. Erik Hamrén will have a look at his players in a match for the first time tomorrow and will know plenty of work will need to be done between now and September 2010.
The new era begins without Henrik Larsson of course who has retired while the future looks bright after the acheivments of the U-21 side in the summer. Players such as Rasmus Elm, Marcus Berg and Emir Bajrami offer hope for the future.
Tomorrow night at 20:50 CET Italy face Sweden.
