Sweden made a real plate match and lost to Portugal by 35-25. Injured right-hander Albin Lagergren followed the game from the stands. For the first time, he also made a statement after the match.

“You always want to help the team. Now it has not gone but I hope to help the team the last matches, says Albin Lagergren.

Hope to play

Albin Lagergren is still scathing about his injury.

- I'd love to take it after the championship in that case. It is mostly because the opponents will not be able to take advantage of it.

Is that the foot?

- No, it's not the foot.

How are you today?

- Right now I'm feeling crap, but otherwise it's good. There is no danger in the body. It's totally okay and hopefully I can be with the next match
