On Monday, the Swedish men's national team gathered in Copenhagen before the training international match against Denmark and later the Nations League group game will end with matches against Croatia (home) and France (away).
All players are coronated immediately when they join the squad.
But when asked what the doctor Anders Valentin thinks a training match in Denmark should even be played, he answers:
- We take all matches straight up and down that are booked.
There is not much to do and there is no alternative.
Just like the situation and take care of it as best you can.
All matches are difficult now.
So it is important to be careful with testing, says Valentin.
Janne Andersson steers from a distance
Although national team captain Janne Andersson does not join the squad due to the fact that he is in home quarantine after a close family member tested positive for covid-19, he is involved with the preparations from a distance.
- We have worked together for quite some time and know how we work.
Today I have spoken to him three times, of course we agree with each other.
We play ball with each other all the time, says assistant national team captain Petter Wettergren.
Previously, it is clear that five Swedish players are not allowed to travel to the national team gathering in Copenhagen from their clubs in the UK.
