If the information is correct, Sweden will line up with the following back line in tonight's World Cup playoff semi-final against Ukraine in Valencia: Herman Johansson, Isak Hien, Victor Nilsson Lindelöf, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Gabriel Gudmundsson.

Johansson won the Swedish Championship with Mjällby last year, but moved to MLS side FC Dallas last winter. This will be the 28-year-old's senior debut. His only previous appearance for the national team was when he came on in the 65th minute in the World Cup qualifier against Slovenia in November.

Potter has previously announced that AIK veteran Kristoffer Nordfeldt will start in goal.

Ukraine–Sweden kicks off at 8:45 p.m. local time in Valencia. The winner advances to the qualifying final against either Poland or Albania.
