Rosengård's shooting queen Anna Anvegård was not present when Sweden won 5-0 against Hungary yesterday. The reason was an injury she suffered earlier this week.
- Anna contracted a first degree muscle strain in her thigh during training last Thursday here in Hungary. She was over the game yesterday and we believe she will unfortunately not be ready for play on Tuesday, says doctor Houman Ebrahimi in a statement on the Swedish Football Association's website.
"Good shape"Replaces in Gothenburg, where Sweden meets Slovakia on Tuesday, does Gothenburg's Rebecka Blomqvist, who thus leaves the U23 national team's collection in the Stockholm region.
- Since Anna is not available on Tuesday, we choose to include Rebecka as a forward in the squad. She played 90 minutes in Thursday's U23 international match against the Netherlands and scored two goals. So she comes here with self-confidence and good form, comments the federation chief Peter Gerhardsson.
It is now also clear that Blomqvist's teammate in Gothenburg, Elin Rubensson, is not recovered enough from the concussion she suffered last weekend, and therefore does not join the national team at all this collection.
