Sweden coach Erik Hamren has backed England to be one of the sides to beat at next summer's European Championship finals.

Holders Spain are5/2to retain their crown, with England10/1and the Netherlands6/1.
Hamren said: "It's the three big countries - Spain, Holland and Germany - who are the favourites of course. England are one of the teams, one of the countries, who can take the challenge."
Hamren's view is not altered by the possible absence of star striker Rooney, with the Sweden boss believing that tonight's opponents have plenty of strength in depth.
"If you see the squad you can put some really, really good players in instead of them," he added. "You need a good squad.
"You need to win the games when you have players injured and suspended."
