Sweden’s Euro 2008 squad confirmed: Henrik Larsson!

Earlier today Lars Lagerbäck revealed his squad for the Euro 2008 in Switzerland and Austria. And I bet that everyone got really happy when Lagerbäck revealed the last name; Henrik Larsson is back in Blueyellows for the first time since the World Cup 2006. Larsson was the only surprising name in the squad and this is most likely the last tournament for about ten players in the Swedish squad.
