Head coach Janne Andersson has already named his team for the friendly in Bucharest and Jansson will wear the captain's arm-band in partnering Bologna's Filip Helander at the centre of defence.

Jansson was an unused substitute for Saturday's 2-1 loss at home to Chile but the 27-year-old's prospects of boarding the plane to this summer's World Cup in Russia have now received a big boost.
