Mikaela Mässing, 26, injured his knee in a training match with his Romanian club team Baia Mare.
- It is always heavy when you injure yourself and the first time it was almost even worse.
They did not know what was happening and what was waiting.
But it is always heavy and I have cried my tears, she says to SVT Sport.
The European Championships in Denmark in December are of course out of the question for Brass, which is aiming for another championship.
- I hope I can go back to the Olympics if I were selected for it, she says.
Many Swedish national team players are injured right now.
In addition to Mässing, Clara Lerby and Olivia Mellegård have drawn the crucifix during the summer.
Brass believes that the tight game schedule that the corona pandemic has forced may be one reason.
- There have been many who play in the Danish league who have drawn the cruciate ligament and they have not touched a ball in six months and then you go in and play three matches in three days.
There I think it may be a connection, the body is simply not used to playing handball.
Could the clubs do more to help the players?
- I absolutely think so.
But I do not know how they would do it.
Playing three matches in three days is not optimal for anyone.
