lig. Both Hannah Glass and Jonah Anderson are unsure when the quarter-final match will be against Belgium.
Then, Amanda, Amanda, Elstedt and Nelden respectively could replace the outside quarterback.
It’s such a mystery, it’s easy to forget how common this is, says Peter Gerhardson.
Peter Gerhardson He will likely face a dilemma in the quarter-final against Belgium.
Hannah Glass and Emma Kohlberg, both right-backs, have been confirmed to have COVID-19. It was not clear if left back Jonah Anderson was injured or not.
Yesterday and today we had players who trained themselves in the afternoon, says Gerhardsson, referring to the trio.
The captain of the national team cannot answer whether any of them can start.
– No proof. I have no idea about anyone. That is why they are training today. Nobody had a fever or anything like that, so there were opportunities to play football.
Talking about Ilestedt
Pre-match training sessions were open to the media for only a quarter of an hour. Judging from those, Amanda Elistette and Ellen Robinson emerged as right-backs.
– All players have different qualities. Gerhardson says Amanda Ellstedt played in such a situation.
– No matter if you are playing triple or quad line, you will have a very good main match with it.
At the moment, there are several indications that Ilestedt will take his place at full-back, while Linda Sembrant and Magdalena Eriksson form a central defender pair.
On the other hand, EC newbie Amanda Nielden could get a chance from the start. Her colleague Natalie Björn says the 23-year-old is ready for something.
Amanda is a fantastically talented soccer player who’s been with us for a while, says Bjorn.
She has a very nice left foot and a good game reading ability. So if she has the chance tomorrow, I totally think she’s ready.
Aslani: “It’s good to play on the attacking wing”
Bjorn, who is usually a central defender, will likely replace injured Caroline Seeger in midfield alongside Philippa Engeldahl.
Offensively, there will be fewer changes. Stena Placstinius retained her ninth spot, with Fridolina Rulfo on the left.
Kosovar Aslani may want to continue collaborating with Joanna Ritting Kanred on the right wing.
– It worked out well, I think it’s good to play with an attacking wing that creates spaces for me, says Aslani about the performance against Portugal.
The match between Sweden and Belgium will be played at the Lee Sports Arena, with kick-off at 21 Swedish time.
