Soccer: I won't ruin euro bids - Eriksson

Sven-Goran Eriksson insists that he will not jeopardise Liverpool and Manchester United’s European campaigns by forcing their England players to play a full game against Italy this week.

Eriksson, who is already expected to be without Steven Gerrard, Rio Ferdinand and Kieron Dyer, has gained the agreement of Italy coach Giovanni Trapattoni to using 11 substitutes in the friendly.
