Sweden captain Fredrik Ljungberg has declared himself fit for the Euro 2008 finals next month.

The midfielder is still plagued by the rib injury he picked up playing for West Ham in the 2-2 draw with Newcastle on 26th April.

The injury caused him to miss the Hammers' last two league games of the season against Manchester United and Aston Villa.

But Ljungberg is confident that he can play in the Euro finals with protection.

He told Expressen: "I might get a special protection for the rib and that is good.

"It will protect me in case I get an elbow on the ribs."
