FRANKFURT, Germany, June 8 (Xinhua) -- Sweden goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson is
out of the Group B encounter with Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday after
suffering a bout of concussion on Thursday.
The 24-year-old Rennes custodian, who would have been in the starting line-up
to face the World Cup debutant, was struck on the head by a close-range
drive from former Rennes team-mate Kim Kallstrom in training on Wednesday.
Although Isaksson managed to continue training for a few minutes after
suffering the blow, he felt unwell later in the evening and after being examined
by medical staff it was revealed he had concussion.
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Rami Shaaban is likely to replace Isaksson, who
will have to wait for his World Cup debut.
Sweden's other opponents in the group are Paraguay and England. Enditem
