“Unfortunately, it will not be a World Cup for me as many of you already know. Instead, it will be a big hole operation on Wednesday, ”Sabina Jacobsen writes on her Instagram.

"I'm aiming to be back on the handball field again in January".

The message that the Swedish national team misses the World Cup came in early November. The injury was known before, but she was taken out in the World Cup squad anyway.

Sabina Jacobsen has been replaced by debutant Kristin Thorleifsdóttir from H65 Höör.

The World Cup will be decided in Japan from November 29 to December 15.
