Soccer: Larsson in Swedish squad

Celtic striker Henrik Larsson is among five British based players to be named in Sweden's World Cup squad for the World Cup double-header with Macedonia and Moldova later this month.

The Parkhead star - who bagged his 43rd goal of the season in the Bhoys 1-0 Scottish Cup win over Hearts yesterday - is joined by team-mate Johan Mjallby.

Influential Arsenal midfield man Freddie Ljungberg, Sunderland's Stefan Schwarz and Coventry keeper Magnus Hedman make up a trio from the Premiership.
