Ljungberg not ready for Denmark

Freddie Ljungberg has pulled out of Sweden’s squad for the Euro 2008 qualifier against Denmark next Saturday because of injury.

The 30-year-old midfielder has been struggling with a groin problem and tests have confirmed the West Ham player will not be fit in time for the Group F clash with their Scandinavian neighbours.

Ljungberg is the second player to pull out of the Sweden side this weekend, with Matias Concha also forced out by a thigh injury.

Mikael Dorsin has been called up as a replacement for the defender.
