The Swedish national team head coach Lars Lagerback spoke to Sport Express about the European tournament where his side will meet Russian opposition in the last game of the group stage.

"I know that Andrei Arshavin is the key player in the Russian national team", said Lagerback.

"This player will be on two-game suspension, but he will manage to play against Sweden."

"At the same time it's Guus Hiddink who will decide to pick Arshavin for the Euro-2008 or not."

"We have enough time till the continental championship kick-off and our match against Russian will complete our group stage fixtures."

"At first we will face Greece and Spain and nobody knows in what form our teams will come to the last match in the group."

"Who knows maybe the game against Russia will be decisive and maybe the result of this encounter won't affect the disposition of the teams."

"We have information about Russian players and I should lay special emphasize to Alexei and Vasily Berezutsky."

"Any team, which will play in Austria and Switzerland this summer, will try to show their best and Sweden is not an exception."
