Both Lundkvist and Zigiotti Olme started Saturday's group final against Germany on the bench.

This evening they are back in the starting eleven, despite both their replacements, Smilla Holmberg and Hanna Bennison, doing well and contributing to the 4–1 win against the Germans.

Italy next?

Otherwise, there are no changes. Both Fridolina Rolfö and Magdalena Eriksson, who entered the championship with injuries, start again.

The quarterfinal against England kicks off at 9 pm. In the event of a tie after regular time, extra time awaits, 2 x 15 minutes, and then a penalty shootout.

The winner will meet Italy in the semifinal in Geneva on Tuesday.
