What the Swedish team thought was a blow in the opening victory against Uruguayan Aprahamian turned out to be something much worse. Dvärby, who competes in the 100-kilos class, could not do himself justice in the second round and was knocked out against the final World Cup two Ilyasov, Russia and there were reasons.
An X-ray examination today found a foot fracture that will require time-consuming healing and rehabilitation.
Extra difficult situation because Dvärby is currently on the right side of the Olympic qualification, but needs more competition results to fall below the line.
- It's boring. He needs all the matches he can get, there is a clear risk that he will fall behind in the qualifying, says associate captain Robert Eriksson to SVT Sport. It is at least six weeks healing and then he has to get started and build his foot after that.
- At best, he can compete again at the end of the year.
