Rolfö has been training full-time the last few days, but still does not seem ready for a full football match. The attacking star, who yesterday announced that she is leaving the major club Barcelona, starts on the bench just like on Friday when Sweden kicked off their European Championship in Switzerland with a 1–0 win against Denmark.

Also this evening, it will be Fiorentina's Madelen Janogy who replaces on the left in the Swedish attack.

Amanda and Amanda

Neither is Magdalena Eriksson included in the starting eleven. The Bayern München defender was absent from the Denmark match due to an overload injury and is replaced this evening by Amanda Ilestedt. Most recently, it was Linda Sembrant who took the spot as center-back alongside Nathalie Björn.

In addition, national team coach Peter Gerhardsson changes the left-back. Amanda Nildén gets the chance and Jonna Andersson is relegated to the bench.

In the Polish eleven, it can be noted that the important Paris Saint-Germain defender Paulina Dudek is missing. Dudek left the premiere against Germany and will not start against Sweden.

So the teams line up

Sweden's starting eleven (4–3–3): Jennifer Falk – Hanna Lundkvist, Nathalie Björn, Amanda Ilestedt, Amanda Nildén – Filippa Angeldahl, Kosovare Asllani, Julia Zigiotti Olme – Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, Stina Blackstenius, Madelen Janogy.

Substitutes: Tove Enblom (mv), Emma Holmgren (mv), Magdalena Eriksson, Smilla Holmberg, Linda Sembrant, Jonna Andersson, Hanna Bennison, Rebecka Blomqvist, Lina Hurtig, Sofia Jakobsson, Fridolina Rolfö, Ellen Wangerheim.
