On Sunday, the plane takes off for Edmonton.
25 players get the chance to go with and the squad will thus be slimmed down with 7 players from the current 32 who are in the bubble in Sundsvall.
The Swedish squad has been hit hard by covid-19 where four players and four leaders (including national team captain Tomas Montén) have been tested positive for the virus and thus stopped from going with the team to Canada.
Yesterday, the Swedish players and leaders, who are in Sundsvall, performed a third PCR test and today came the news that all test results were negative.
- The latest test results showed that all players and leaders who are in Sundsvall are healthy and can go to Canada, says Johan Stark in a press release.
Today also came the news that the Junior Crowns will be led by Joel Rönnmark together with Anders Eriksén and Jason Pietrzykowski during the championship in Canada.
