What is the team news?

Russia come into the game without World Cup playmaker Aleksandr Golovin who is nursing an ankle injury but their main goalscorer last summer Denis Cheryshev is ready to play and scored in their opening game of the groups stage against Turkey.

Sweden on the other hand are only missing defender Filip Helander but it is unknown when he will return to action.

The rest of the Sweden squad will still be the same well oiled machine that has served them well in the past by playing as a strong unit which they will need after falling 2-3 to Turkey in their opening game.
