Caroline Seger has renewed her contract with Rosengård for three years and this means that the team captain will also continue in the national team. - Very important for Rosengård, but also for the national team. Her defensive play is absolutely outstanding, says SVT Sports expert Frida Ösberg.


Östberg believes that any damage will determine if Seger, who is 34, plays the contract.

- It all depends on how harmless she may be. What feels important is that I believe that the European Championship 2021 will be a very interesting championship for Sweden and if you can have her there in good shape it would be very important, says the expert.

She thinks she plays in Rosengård Östberg can be an advantage.

- It's about getting the body to hold and one advantage as you get older is that you learn what load you can have. When she is in an environment like Rosengård, she does not have to prove anything about training but can tell if she needs more leave or alternative training.

How important is she in Peter Gerhardsson's national team?

- Very important. Partly the leader with her professionalism and experience and partly on the pitch where she has a calm and a confidence in her defensive game where she can close very large areas that provide conditions for others. Then we will see if she will play 90 minutes in all matches ahead. But if she is fresh then she is definitely a starter.
