Sebastian Larsson to overcome defeat ready for England battle

Sebastian Larsson insists that Sweden will put their defeat to Ukraine to the back of their minds and focus on taking on England on Friday.

Sweden midfielder Sebastian Larsson has urged his teammates to move on from their crushing defeat to Ukraine and focus on their next Euro 2012 challenge.

The Swedes take on England this Friday following a 2-1 defeat to Ukraine, despite breaking the deadlock and going one goal to the good in the second half.

"Of course it's very difficult. You only have three games to collect as many points as you can and we're bottom of the group now," Larsson told Goal.com.

"I think the disappointment is the big thing now, and we need to try to get over it and the England game is coming up fast. If we can play our football the way we know we can then nothing's impossible."

Meanwhile, Roy Hodgson's side kicked off their Group D campaign with a 1-1 draw against France, which puts them second in the group below Ukraine.
