Sweden announced their starting lineup for Monday's Group F World Cup opener against Tunisia in Monterrey, Mexico. Atalanta defender Isak Hien and Udinese midfielder Jesper Karlstrom feature in the XI, with both earning World Cup starts for the tournament.
Tunisia field no players with current Serie A connections in their lineup, though reserve centre-back Dylan Bronn has previous experience in Italian football with Salernitana. Both teams view the match as crucial in a competitive group stage.
Group F's opening day has already seen Netherlands and Japan draw 1-1. The Sweden-Tunisia match in Monterrey provides the final fixture of the group's first matchday, with both sides seeking vital early points.
