Sweden football team coach Erik Hamren has included striker John Guidetti of Celta de Vigo in the call of Sweden for the last two qualifying matches for Euro 2016, against Liechtenstein and Moldova.
Guidetti, who won the Under-21 European Championship three months ago, has not been called to the national team since 2012. Hamren said on Friday at the presentation of the squad here that he thinks Guidetti has played few games but has very interesting qualities, adding that he made a beautiful goal against Barcelona, Efe reported.
