Love Härenstam has been in goal for the first two matches of the Junior World Cup. Now Herman Liv, son of the late goalkeeping icon Stefan Liv, gets his chance.

The junior crowns have started the championship in Minnesota, USA, in the best possible way, with two straight victories against Slovakia and Switzerland.

Now, however, national team captain Magnus Hävelid has chosen to make a change. Herman Liv will start in goal against Germany in the third group-stage match.

Liv played in the training matches before the tournament but has sat out the first two group-stage matches.

Herman Liv's father was Stefan Liv, who died in a plane crash in Russia in 2011 at the age of 30. Before the accident, he was part of the team that won Olympic gold and World Championship gold with Tre Kronor in 2006.

The match against Germany starts at 7:00 p.m.
