Before the season, Swedish football applied a comprehensive medical regulations with the aim of minimizing the risk of increased contagion in society.

Sverker Nilsson, who in addition to his assignment at SvFF is also a team doctor in Falkenbergs FF, summarizes how he thinks it has worked after six games played by the gentleman Swede.

-You can say that everything has been fantastic - until the episode in Uppsala which was a disaster. What happened in the match Sirius-Örebro must not happen, he says.

That it was a suspected food poisoning - and not covid-19 - among the four or five ESC players who spewed before playing against Sirius on Sunday is no mitigating circumstance, Nilsson says.

- If you ask before the warm-up, you must not play. Partly it is dangerous for your own sake. It can be overloaded with damage and you can even collapse because you do not have enough energy and fluid in your body. If you ask because you have an infection, you also risk infecting others. So it's a double fault, he tells TT and continues.

- If this had happened last year, I would also have been very surprised, because this must never happen. It is totally unacceptable. And that it happens now is completely insane when we have all eyes on us from all directions. If more of these things happen, the Public Health Authority must come in and say that now there is a stop for games in the All Swede, the Damsel Swede, the Super Eight and the Elite.

Örebro is reported to Swedish elite football's disciplinary committee and risks punishment in the form of a reminder, a warning or a fine.

- An investigation is now underway and Örebro will be punished for this, of course. But I think that those who look most seriously at this are Örebro themselves. They will make sure it doesn't happen again, ”says Sverker Nilsson.
