On Sunday, Sirius defeated Örebro by 2-1. After the match, the ÖSK coach Axel Kjäll told Nerikes Allehanda that several players were feeling bad and vomited before the match started.

- It was a special period before the match where we had four or five players spearheading before the match started. Someone got it on the bus and somebody got it on the stadium. There were several who felt bad and several who spit. It is very difficult to say what it is, we will investigate it a bit more. Many players fought through and did not feel great, some played 90 minutes, he told the newspaper.

The team doctor was unaware

When TT reaches Sirius doctor Jakob Johansson and reads the quotes from Axel Kjäll he is genuinely surprised.

- What? What are you saying? This is absolute news for me, there is no information I have received, but Örebro has reported to me, on three different occasions, that all players and leaders are healthy. That's the report I received via email yesterday, via text message earlier today (Sunday) and on a physical list an hour before kickoff, he says.

Prior to the delayed series start, Swedish Elite Football established a rules of conducting matches during covid-19.

It states, among other things, that the home team's physician, on match day, should review a self-assessment form completed by all players, managers and match officials. The doctor then approves who is authorized to enter and stay at the arena.

"They hadn't got in"

On the self-assessment form, players and leaders fill in body temperature and answer whether you have cough, sore throat, headache, nausea, diarrhea or muscle pain. They also get a question if they have other symptoms.

What would have happened if you had received this information before the match?

- Then they would not have been allowed into the arena. If he (Axel Kjäll), as you quote from the newspaper now, knew about this ... I can't say what he has said but if you have players who are sick you will not enter the arena. The whole system is based on certifying that all players, leaders, everyone who comes in is healthy and that is the certificate that I have received. If that's not true then this is remarkable to say the least.

TT has unsuccessfully tried to reach Örebro's Axel Kjäll and the team's physical therapist who was responsible during the match. The club's doctor, Ulf Nordström, did not attend the match.
