Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is doubtful for the final Group B match with England because of a groin strain.
The Juventus forward played only 45 minutes of Thursday's game with Paraguay and will undergo tests and a scan to determine whether he can play.
Doctor Anders Valentin said: "Of course we're worried about the next game.
"Zlatan felt some pain in the left groin during the warm-up and in the game the pain increased, so we decided to take him off at half-time."
Lagerback said after the match that the squad's medical staff had advised taking Ibrahimovic off, warning that if he continued he might risk missing the whole tournament.
Ibrahimovic was replaced by Marcus Allback at half time.
This could a blow... Allback is half the player that Ibrahimovic is :eek:
