June 11, 2002
STOCKHOLM, June 11 (Reuters) - Midfielder Fredrik Ljungberg will be able to play in Sweden's final World Cup group F game against Argentina on Wednesday despite his groin and hip injuries, Swedish media reported on Tuesday. "As I judge things for now he will be able to participate," team doctor Magnus Forssblad told daily Aftonbladet. "Fredrik is in pain, but he doesn't think it's worse than it was ahead of the England game." Sweden drew 1-1 with England and beat Nigeria 2-1 in their first two group games and need a draw with Argentina to be certain of qualifying for the second round.
