One who, on the other hand, took Sweden to the World Cup but misses the first European qualifiers is Sävehof's Emma Fernis, who will operate a foot.
Earlier, star duo Isabelle Gulldén and Johanna Westberg, who both have children this summer and who are back in the national team earlier this fall, are missing, and right-hander Daniela Gustin who pulled off the cross band during the European Championships in December.
Sweden will start the European Championship qualifiers at home against Northern Macedonia on September 26. Then Portugal waits for two days later.
The group also has the Czech Republic and the two best teams go to the European Championships, which will be decided in Norway and Denmark in December 2020.
