Sheffield / Stockholm. There will be no Stena Blackstein from the start at the European Championship premiere against the Netherlands.
This was confirmed by national team captain Peter Gerhardson during Friday’s press conference.
If I say it started, no one will believe me anyway, says Gerhardson.
Stena Blacksteins He was pulled due to a charging injury prior to the European Championships and only jumped when Sweden won the rematch against Brazil 3-1.
Captain Peter Gerhardsson confirmed during Friday’s press conference that the attacking star will not start his first show against the Netherlands.
– She trained fully yesterday and can train fully now, says Gerhardsson before he was asked if she would start.
– No, I don’t think so, he says.
However, Gerhardsson is happy that Blackstenius can train fully.
As always, one of the success factors is that the medical team gives me minutes, how much she can play. Gerhardsson says he will decide tonight after completing this training.
“Good as I say”
Lina Hurtig started the training match against Brazil and scored a goal.
I think we have alternatives and Stena’s entry into Brazil last time was very good. If I said it started, no one would believe me anyway. I also say she’ll be able to be available and jump in. I think it’s a bit worrying for the Netherlands too, when is she coming and what can she do? All was well on my height this week.
Linda Sembrandt, who was also injured, is also available to play.
– Gerhardson says the report released today is that it is playable.
