shout. Two players in the European Championship team have contracted the Covid virus.
Now obviously it’s about: Hannah Glass and Emma Kohlberg.
This was confirmed by the Swedish national team management in a press release on Wednesday morning. The psychological counselor of the national team, Rasmus Liljebad, was also affected.
When you are asymptomatic. Having a negative antigen test and passing our internal medical examination are welcome back at work, national team doctor Homan Ebrahimi said in a statement.
Sweden was ready, on Sunday, for the quarter-finals of the European Championship after the big victory over Portugal.
But joy was exchanged on Monday when two players and a captain received positive test results in rapid tests. The Covid virus has found its way into the national team camp.
For reasons of integrity, the Swedish national team management has kept the names confidential while awaiting letters for the PCR tests, which have been delayed due to the slow handling of UEFA.
The two players and the manager have been isolated at the hotel and the management has taken additional measures.
There is no straight alternative
Anxiety spread in the team and the players were affected by the situation.
– Of course you’re worried. Fridolina Rulfo says they don’t want the infection to spread further.
Sweden plays the quarter-final against Belgium on Friday. It is worth noting that Hanna Glass played all Swedish matches in the European Championship as a right-back and Emma Kohlberg trained as a right-back during the group. This means that at the moment there is no direct replacement in this position if he is not ready to play.
