Freddie ready for Kanu clash

Freddie Ljungberg admits it will be strange lining up against Arsenal team-mate Kanu when Sweden meet Nigeria in Kobe on Friday.

Ljungberg, who has been struggling with a hip injury but is expected to play against the Nigerians, said: ‘‘It’s an awkward feeling because he’s (Kanu) my team-mate and I wish him the best of luck - but maybe not in this game!’’
