Sweden boss Erik Hamren believes England are good enough to win next year's European Championships.
Sweden face England in a friendly tonight.
"It's the three big countries - Spain, Holland and Germany - who are the favourites of course," he said.
"England are one of the teams, one of the countries, who can take the challenge."
That is even without Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard or Jack Wilshere, according to Hamren, who will not have to deal with that trio on Tuesday night.
"If you see the squad, you can put some really, really good players in instead of them," he said.
"You need a good squad. You need to win the games when you have players injured and suspended."
