Ghanaian-born defender Joseph Baffo remains confident of Sweden's chances of easing past Denmark to reach the final of the 2015 Euro U21 Championship. 

The 22-year-old Halmstad BK center-back was a slight doubt for the Saturday tie at the Generali Arena with a shoulder injury.

But after returning to training on Friday with the rest of the Sweden squad Baffo has expressed confidence of a Sweden victory ahead of the game.

He posted a picture of himself training with the rest of his team-mates and saying: "Last workout before tomorrow's semi-finals."

The defender whose roots can be traced to the Ghanaian city of Kumasi in the Asante region has featured in all three games for Sweden during the Group stages as they progressed ahead of Italy and England to qualify.

Baffo has declared his intentions to play for Ghana but there has been no official interest from the Ghana Football Association while he has also not activated a process for nationality switch at FIFA.
