Arneng to replace Jonson

Johan Arneng of Djurgården takes the place of injured Mattias Jonson for Wednesday's friendly against the Czech Republic. This was to be expected since there were only three central midfielders in the squad. Another possible selection would have been Martin Ericsson of Ålborg in the Danish League. It is probable that he is not seen as a good enough two-way player, having mainly offensive qualities. Should Andreas Johansson of Wigan start playing regularly for his club he would also be a likely candidate. Johansson came close to scoring when he came on as a sub in Sunday's game against Chelsea.

Hopefully I'll be able to watch the Czech practise on Tuesday night and maybe a Sweden session as well. Thanks to benevolent forces I have received tickets to the game and won't have to subject myself to the horrors of a TV4-produced game. Tv4 has the most inept cadre of "expert" commentators in the world, all save one with direct ties to Hammarby where TV4's Robert Perlskog used to be a board member.
