Four months ago, Gulldén gave birth to his son Lias. Since then she has been training hard to get back into shape with a view to the World Cup. But she has not played many minutes in the French league this fall and lacks match tempo.

- We have to sneak in her, take it match by match, says the Confederate Signell. She looks all nicer and better but we can't demand that she be in the shape she was before pregnancy.

Roberts optimistic

National team colleague of nine meters Jamina Roberts is optimistic about Gulldén.

- She has worked well, a pregnancy is not to play with, physically. I think she will make a good championship.

That Gulldén means a lot to the Swedish team is no secret.

"She's extremely important," says Roberts. After all, she draws attention only if she puts one foot on the pitch so it helps a lot for the rest of us.
