Argentina boss Marcelo Bielsa put his players through their paces on Monday in their final training session before the crunch Group F clash with Sweden on Wednesday.

Biesla will announce his starting line-up tomorrow, and is expected to make four changes from the side beaten 1-0 by England last Friday.

The South Americans must win against the Swedes at the Miyagi Stadium to have any chance of reaching the second round.

Manchester United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron, ineffective against Sven-Goran Eriksson's side, is rumoured to be the big omission from the side, with Pablo Aimar his suggested replacement.

Diego Simeone may also lose his place to Parma's Matias Almeyda, while Claudio Lopez is expected to get his second start of the tournament ahead of Juan Pablo Sorin, and Jose Chamot is set to replace Diego Placente.

Veteran striker Claudio Caniggia played for a substitutes team in a practice match today and is expected to be named on the bench for the first time.
