STOCKHOLM, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Sweden goalkeeper Magnus Hedman says he does not feel threatened by Andreas Isaksson winning his first call-up for the friendly in Greece on February 13.
"Isaksson is with us to watch and learn, he can take over when I quit," the Coventry goalkeeper told tabloid Expressen.
Sweden under 21 keeper Isaksson, 20, who plays for Swedish first division team Djurgarden, is nominated for the first time in the Sweden squad ahead of usual second choice Magnus Kihlstedt (FC Copenhagen).
Hedman, who says he is giving up alcohol until after the World Cup, has started of all of Sweden's games for a year. Sweden face England, Argentina and Nigeria in the World Cup's "group of death" this summer.
