Today, the Swedish women's soccer team gathered for two important European Championship qualifiers against first Latvia and then Iceland. But attacking star Stina Blackstenius is not with. She has a cold and has not yet given a negative coronary test.

Stina Blackstenius was missing from today's training.

Stina has mild cold symptoms and we have therefore decided not to include her in the "national team bubble" before she left a negative covid-19 test and is completely symptom-free, says national team doctor Houman Ebrahimi in a press release.

Juventus duo Lina Hurtig and Linda Sembrant and Real Madrid players Kosovars Asllani and Sofia Jakobsson were also missing from today's training.

Both European Championship qualifiers are played at Gamla Ullevi.

You meet Latvia on Thursday and then there is a group final against Iceland on Tuesday.
