Sweden vs Ukraine predicted lineups: Team news, squads, injury updates, suspensions for Euros fixture today

Sweden and Ukraine fight for a place in the quarter-finals at Euro 2020 tonight.

Group E winners Sweden have been handed a major boost ahead of the game in Scotland, with Emil Forsberg declaring himself fit to play after missing training at the weekend.

The RB Leipzig winger has three goals to his name already at the Euros, scoring the winning penalty against Slovakia before netting twice in the thrilling 3-2 triumph over Poland in Saint Petersburg.

“My status is good. I trained fully today, it was more just a precaution yesterday, so there are no problems,” Forsberg said at a press conference on Sunday.

Juventus midfielder Dejan Kulusevski will also be hoping to start on Tuesday after providing two assists off the bench against Poland.

Ukraine boss Andriy Shevchenko may well make changes to his side after their flat display against the Austrians, with Dynamo Kiev midfielder Viktor Tsygankov among those pushing to come into the starting XI after being introduced at half-time in the last match.

Here is how we predict the two sides will shape up in Glasgow this evening...
