Since 2009 Elísabet Gunnarsdóttir has trained Kristianstad in the Swedish Swan. But now she has been forced to take an immediate break due to shingles. In her absence, the assistant coaches replace Johanna Rasmussen and Björn Sigurbjörnsson.

- It can be quite long-lasting. It gets on your nerves and it's not so good to get it on your head. I have gigantic pains, I haven't been to anything like it. I will not be able to hold any training at all and I do not know how long this will last, says the Icelandic coach to Kristianstadsbladet.

Kristianstad launches the ladies' swan on June 28 when the team meets Gothenburg on away ground.
