Sweden boss Erik Hamren reveals that he intends to make changes for his side's game with France tonight.

Sweden boss Erik Hamren has revealed that some of his star players will be rested in tonight's Group D match with France in Kiev.

After losing both of their Euro 2012 games so far, Sweden cannot qualify for the quarter-finals.

Opponents France need a point to reach the last eight, while the result could also have implications on where England and Ukraine, who meet simultaneously in Donetsk, finish in the group.

Hamren told reporters: "My message to ­England is 'make sure you win', that would be for the best. They should focus on themselves and we will focus on us. We want to leave with a good performance and a good result.

"We will try to do all we can to win the game. We will play in the way that allows us to win the game. We will make changes but there will still be quite a few players with experience in the team. I feel good about the game having seen the team and how motivated they are."

Sweden have not beaten France in their last 11 meetings.
