It's Rolfö's first match from the start since the end of October. She had missed six straight matches with Barcelona when she joined the national team last week.

But in the away match against Serbia on Thursday, Rolfö started on the bench, before being substituted in in the second half.

Now she's ready for more minutes. Rolfö is back in the starting eleven when the European Championship playoff is decided at Tele2 Arena in Stockholm.

Sweden won the first match 2–0 and has an excellent starting position when it's now decided which team qualifies for the football European Championship in Switzerland next year.

Madelen Janogy, who replaced Rolfö on Thursday, will therefore start on the bench.

Otherwise, Sweden will field the same eleven as last time.

So Sweden starts (4–3–3): Zecira Musovic – Hanna Lundkvist, Nathalie Björn, Magdalena Eriksson, Jonna Andersson – Filippa Angeldahl, Kosovare Asllani, Hanna Bennison – Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, Stina Blackstenius, Fridolina Rolfö.

The rest of the squad: Jennifer Falk (gk), Tove Enblom (gk), Linda Sembrant, Amanda Nildén, Rebecka Blomqvist, Sofia Jakobsson, Madelen Janogy, Emma Kullberg, Julia Zigiotti Olme, Hanna Wijk, Rosa Kafaji, Anna Anvegård.

Outside the squad: Evelyn Ijeh, Matilda Vinberg.

The match starts at 19.00.
