Had ineffective games against Belgium and Turkey, and has found it hard to be his usual penetrative self in Euro 2000. Was substituted against Turkey.
The tricky right-winger was one of the very few successes of Sheffield Wednesday's season which resulted in Premiership relegation.
Like teammate Gilles de Bilde with Belgium, Alexandersson will be looking to put himself in the shop window this summer. Coventry City, Aston Villa and Everton have all been mentioned in dispatches.
An excellent crosser of the ball with a good eye for goal, his influence could determine how far Sweden are to progress.
Hit the winning goals against Bulgaria and Luxembourg as Sweden qualified ahead of England.
