Brazil coach Carlos Dunga elected to remove Kaka from the Seleçao after it became apparent that he was unlikely to have recovered from a muscle injury in time for Wednesday, leaving the door open to Anderson, who was pivotal to United's victory against Liverpool at the weekend.
"I had more freedom and played as a "No 10" against Liverpool," said Anderson assuredly. "I feel very at ease playing this way and I hope that I can repeat the performances I have had at my club when I play for Brazil.
'I am doubly happy, since I will play for my country and I have been part of an important victory over a rival in the English championship.'
The game with Sweden will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1958 World Cup final between the countries, which Brazil won 5-2 with Pele famously scoring twice.
