Seeger and Lyndall are missing
The European Championship forgotten and now Sweden will finish the World Cup qualifiers away from Finland against Finland.
Then Peter Gerhardsson basically took out a similar team as he had during the tournament.
– There is an idea, says the guild captain.
It’s time for the women’s national team to regroup after the semi-final exit from the European Commission a month ago.
Today, Peter Gerhardsson has chosen the team that will meet next week for a camp in Gotland, followed by the World Cup qualifying final away to Finland on September 6.
Among other things, the long-injured Caroline Seeger, as well as goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl, who announced that he is ready as the first goalkeeper in the national team, were not included.
– Hedvig spoke here and we had a conversation. One clear thing I said is that we go into WC with the top three goalkeepers. If Hedvig is one of the three, it is included. If she’s the best, she has to stand up. But we’ll take a look at the other goalkeepers this fall, and then we’ll see. The requirement to go far in the restroom is that we have to have the best players, Gerhardsson says.
Jacobson does not call
But in the team, the duo Philippa Cormark and European champion Madeleine Janouji were included.
– There are two players that could have been in the EC squad. We think they are the closest to filling this team. Now Madelen is showing really well lately. Now there is an opportunity to participate, says the guild leader.
Due to round-trip flights to the United States, Sofia Jacobson, who plays in San Diego, was not selected for this match. Nella Fisher was not selected.
In addition, Gerhardson adds Matilda Feinberg and Hana Wijk, who are there to see and learn. They will not play the match against Finland.
Blågult is already qualified for the World Cup in Australia in 2023 so the meeting against the neighboring country has no sporting significance
– The team you have chosen for the match against Finland is largely based on those who have participated in the European Commission, some of whom will not. There’s an idea in that, we’ve been together for over a month and we’ve done a lot together.
