Heskey will start against Sweden - Sven

Last updated : 27 May 2002 By Kop Talk News


England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson says he is not concerned about the lack of international goals scored by Emile Heskey and he has revealed that the Liverpool hitman will start against the Swedes.

Heskey has once again been criticised by the media who say he simply doesn't score enough goals but Sven says that the statistics do not concern him.

"I am not concerned about Heskey at all, he will play against Sweden," said Eriksson.

"Whether it is up front, to the left or to the right, he will play.

"Maybe I shouldn't come out at this time and say that but I believe in Heskey and what he can do for England."
