First-choice goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson will miss Sweden's opening FIFA World Cup™ match against Trinidad and Tobago after suffering concussion in a training accident, a Swedish team spokesman said on Thursday.


A shot from midfielder Kim Kallstrom hit Isaksson in the face during training on Wednesday. The impact knocked him over and he was concussed when he banged his head on the ground.


The Rennes keeper will be out of action for between three and five days, the spokesman said, meaning he would miss Saturday's Group B match with debutants Trinidad and Tobago.


No decision has been taken on who will replace Isaksson, who plays his club football for Rennes in France and appeared for Sweden at UEFA EURO 2004.


The other two goalkeepers in the squad are Rami Shaaban and John Alvbage, both of whom have very little international experience. Former Arsenal goalkeeper, Shaaban made his debut for Sweden last month when he came on as a substitute in a friendly against Finland.


Alvbage won his first cap in a 0-0 draw with Jordan in January.

Rami Shaaban is now officially a Swede in footballing terms, after he represented their national team. Rami Shaaban can no longer play for Egypt, after he featured in a Swedish shirt against his mother's native country Finland earlier today. The half-Egyptian Shaban told Egyptian media that he would have accepted an EFA call-up for the African Cup of Nations but the Egyptian national coach Hasan Shehata never called him officialy. Rami Shaaban who currently plays for the Norwegian 1st division club Fredrikstad FF played the second half against Finland and kept a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw ahead of the World Cup Finals in Germany. Rami Shaaban has an Egyptian father and a Finnish mother.
