Emma Berglund, 31, has some injured years behind her and expert Frida Östberg believes they are still affecting. However, today's injury was not an old one that was torn down, but a new injury.

- She is probably too little matched for games. It is serious. She is a leader profile for Gothenburg aiming for gold and she is an incredibly important piece in that pursuit, says Östberg.

"It came as a shock"

Here's what the player himself says about the injury:

- It's always so hard to say, it's probably best to just get an "MRI" (magnetic X-ray) on it and you have to take it from there. But I definitely think it's a rupture, says Berglund and continues:

- Great herbs. I try to reassure myself that it is a long season and hopefully it can go fast. It felt so good in the spring so ... it came as a shock.

Gothenburg has been missing Elin Rubensson who is pregnant and the regular team captain Beata Kollmats who has damaged the cross band.

- There are an incredible number of good players in the team, but in order to have the continuity and to carry a team, players like Beata Kollmats or Emma Berglund need to dare to set requirements and know what level you need to be at, says Östberg.

Blackstenius on the bench: "Positive"

Another snack ice cream in Gothenburg, which after four matches stands at four points, is that the star recruit Stina Blackstenius has started both matches on the bench.

- It is a competitive situation that you have in Gothenburg now and it is positive. If you want to win that gold you need to be able to vary a little as it becomes a tight game schedule. I understand that you choose to play (Rebecka) Blomqvist and (Pauline) Hammarlund together and that Blackstenius may come in gradually after his injury, says the expert.
