Greece international Niclas Eliasson will make his A-team debut against Denmark at a sold-out Parken.

"He gives us something else and has been brilliant during training," says Sweden's national team coach Jon Dahl Tomasson.

Eliasson, who plays for AEK Athens in his daily life, gets the chance from the start in the Danish capital when the national football team faces Denmark in a training match.

"Niclas has had a fine season. He's flown forward. He gives us something else and has been brilliant during training, and now it will be exciting to see in match situation," says national team coach Jon Dahl Tomasson to the federation's website.

AIK midfielder Anton Salétros made his debut in the "real" A-team against Albania in March, but now makes his first start.

"It will be exciting to see how he handles the intensity of the match, which means you have to make faster decisions and be tougher in duels," says Tomasson.

Newcastle star Alexander Isak has often started on the wing in the national team, but is now central.

"He will play as a number nine against Denmark, but he can also move to midfield or out to the wing. With the quality he possesses in terms of timing on his runs, it's really hard to defend against. His runs behind the backline are world-class," says the national team coach.

According to the federation, Sweden will line up as follows: Robin Olsen – Emil Krafth, Isak Hien, Victor Nilsson Lindelöf, Jens Cajuste – Anton Salétros, Simon Olsson – Niclas Eliasson, Dejan Kulusevski, Anthony Elanga – Alexander Isak.

Danmark's starting eleven: Frederik Rønnow – Rasmus Nissen Kristensen, Joachim Andersen, Jannik Vestergaard – Alexander Bah, Christian Nørgaard, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Joakim Mæhle – Christian Eriksen – Jonas Wind, Rasmus Højlund.

The match kicks off at 19:00.
