First Published: Mar 28, 2000

A back injury has forced Sweden goalkeeper Magnus Hedman to pull out of tomorrow's friendly in Graz against Austria.

The Coventry City player won a new five year deal with the Premiership club two months ago but was injured in training before Sunday's loss at Arsenal.

AIK Stockholm goalkeeper Mattias Asper has been added to the Sweden squad by coach Tommy Soderbergh.
