Sweden opt for five-man midfield against Paraguay

BERLIN, June 15 (Reuters) Sweden brought attacking midfielder Kim Kallstrom into the starting lineup to face Paraguay in their Group B match today as they bid to improve after a 0-0 draw with Trinidad&Tobago.

Kallstrom, who appeared as a substitute against Trinidad, will play in a five-man midfield with Niclas Alexandersson who moves forward from defence as Anders Svensson makes way.

Sweden's first-choice goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson returns to the starting lineup in place of Rami Shaaban who had deputised.

However, Paraguay's number one keeper Justo Villar, who was injured in the opening match against England, is replaced by Aldo Bobadilla, while Jorge Nunez comes in at left back for Delio Toledo who was injured in training on Monday.

Striker Roque Santa Cruz, who had knee surgery last year, is fit to start for the second game in a row and midfielder Carlos Bonet plays despite picking up a slight knock against England.
