May 13th, 2008 | by: Lerkot | Comments(1)

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.

Goalkeepers
Andreas Isaksson, 26 years, (Manchester City)
Rami Shaaban, 33 years, (Hammarby)
Johan Wiland, 26 years, (Elfsborg)

Please notice though that some of the ages might be a bit wrong. Like, I know that Larsson was born in 71 but I’m not in the mood to check exact date.

Lagerbäck also picked a couple of reserves in case someone gets injured.

Kennedy Bakircioglü, (Ajax) (for Linderoth)
Eddie Gustafsson, (Lyn)
Oscar Wendt, (FC Köpenhamn)
