Title: Team news - Five changes for Sweden, Gwinn on Germany bench
Content: Sweden v Germany (20:00 BST)
Sweden boss Peter Gerhardsson makes five changes from the side that beat Poland 3-0 last time out, switching from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3.
Captain Magdalena Eriksson returns to the starting XI, along with Smilla Holmberg, Jonna Andersson, Hanna Bennisson and Fridolina Rolfo.

The biggest surprise of tonight is Germany captain Giulia Gwinn returns to the bench, despite being ruled out of the tournament with a medial ligament injury.
We knew Gwinn would be here tonight, but we expected to see her supporting from the stands. She has been ruled out for six weeks so won't come on tonight, but has been named among the substitutes so she can sit with her teammates and play her part from the dugout.
Elswhere, Christian Wucks makes one change, with Laura Freigang coming in for Linda Dallmann.
Germany XI: Berger, Wamser, Minge, Knaak, Linder, Senss, Nusken, Brand, Freigang, Buhl, Schuller

Germany want to extend their 100% winning start at Euro 2025 and have one goal in mind - to top the group.
They face their toughest test so far tonight against a Sweden side who are the only team yet to concede a goal in the tournament.
"I expect a very close game, two teams at high level," Wuck said.
"Both
want to be group winners. It was our goal to be group winners. Now we want to
complete the final step to complete the group phase."
When asked about the Euro 2025 bracket and the advantages and disadvantages of finishing top of the group, Wuck added: "The first
advantage that crosses my mind is it will of course keep the self-confidence
and self-esteem on the team.
"Otherwise I would not have any other
ideas."
