Eriksson to show his hand
30/05/2006 - 06:59:26Sven-Goran Eriksson will reveal his World Cup plans today in a friendly against Hungary.
Eriksson says he will start with the team he expects to play against Paraguay, on June 10, although he will make a late check on Michael Owen.
Top-scorer Owen needed a scan on a tight thigh muscle after training yesterday.
The scan showed no damage but Eriksson may still opt to rest the Newcastle star, on the way back from a broken foot, in favour of Peter Crouch.
The England boss seems determined to play with only one recognised striker against the Hungarians.
He will pack a five-man midfield but could spring a surprise by including Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher as a midfield anchorman rather than Michael Carrick.
