TAMMERFORS. Tre Kronor captain Oliver Eckmann Larsson was absent against Norway due to injury.
Now the mound’s continued participation in the restroom is uncertain.
– Of course we are worried, said the captain of the national team, Johann Garbenlov.
Team captain Oliver Eckmann Larsson missed the match against Norway on Sunday night.
After morning training, national team captain Johann Garbenlov said that all players are available, but Vancouver Hill did not come into play.
– He injured himself so that he would not be with him today. But that was before that, says Johann Garbenloff afterwards.
Ascended to the Czech Republic
Ekman – Larsson injured a powerful shot on his left skate in front of the Swedish goal a week ago against the Czech Republic.
The 30-year-old, making his seventh World Cup finals appearance, immediately looked sullen, limping off the ice and left for the locker room – but returned to play in the second half then.
When asked if this was the event behind the absence, Garpen replied:
– may have been.
He will not play the next match with a confidence level of 99.9%. Then we’ll see until Thursday (when the playoffs start).
“Then he comes out”
Otherwise, Garpenlöv is silent about the details about the injury.
– In the end, he will definitely show what exactly the problem is and what he did and did not do. Here and now it’s about leaving him alone for a while, then we’ll see if it’s Thursday.
Are you worried about his continued participation?
– Absolutely. If you can’t participate at this point, we’ll obviously worry. At the same time, we must have players who can achieve one hundred percent success. We’re facing very good teams going forward to go 40 or 50 percent.
Ekman Larsson saw the victory over Norway from the stands and declined to comment on what prevented him from playing.
Sweden have one match left in the group stage against Latvia on Tuesday.
