The team will travel to Sweden, where you can watch them play ate 2:30 PM ET, 7:30 PM GMT.

Smith, however, has started three consecutive games for Millwall since being loaned out last month.

With Mousa Dembele still suffering with injury, Jan Vertonghen is the only Spurs player to go with Belgium, as they travel to Romania. Emmanuel Adebayor is back with Togo in a friendly against Morocco, as his side preps for the 2013 African Cup of Nations. Gylfi Sigurdsson and Iceland travel to Andorra.
