Sweden predicted XI v France: Isak Hien out, Anthony Elanga to start?

Sweden will be without Isak Hien for their knockout round match against France on Tuesday. The defender is out with a hamstring injury.

In Hien’s place, it may be Celta Vigo’s Carl Starfelt who starts against Les Bleus in the Sweden defence. Meanwhile, in their final group stage game, it was Jacob Widell Zetterstrom who started over Kristoffer Nordfeldt and the former is expected to keep his place in the line-up later today.

Anthony Elanga netted in the 1-1 draw against Japan last time out. There is a question mark as to whether he will start again, alongside Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokoers, or whether Graham Potter will opt to go more defensive, which would naturally bring about a change in system.
