Sweden was given a day off from training on Monday and many of the squad visited Milan ahead of their Group D showdown with Russia at Euro 2008. Team officials said coach Lars Lagerback had given his players a free day before Wednesday's match. Sweden will set up a quarterfinal with Netherlands if it manages at least a draw. “They were given free day to themselves. Many of the players went to Milan, probably shopping and the like,” general team manager Lars Richt told reporters at their lakeside training base in Lugano on the Swiss-Italian border. “Some players stayed and relaxed at the hotel and some even did some training of their own,” he added. Asked if the players were invited by Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a cup of tea at his Milan home, Richt said: “No they didn't visit Zlatan's place”. Woman dies in fan zone Austrian authorities say a young woman who suffered from a heart ailment collapsed and died in the Vienna Fan Zone during Austria's Euro 2008 loss to Germany. Officials identified the victim only as a 20-year-old Austrian. They said she died while being rushed to a hospital after collapsing around 1900 GMT Monday – about 15 minutes into the match. Authorities said in a statement that an autopsy was planned to determine the exact cause of death, but they added that the woman had a heart condition. Police said they arrested 23 unruly fans – 21 Austrians, a German and a Pole – but reported no major incidents.
