Anna Swenn Larsson injured herself during a training session in Sterzing, Italy, today.

Swenn Larsson suffered the injury in the first run of the day.

She has recently returned to training after testing positive for covid-19 earlier in December and was forced to take a training break.

- I have been back in training for five days and it feels like I have come back quickly.

It has felt very good, so this is happening on the first run today.

It is of course shitty, she says to SVT Sport.

Six weeks absence

She is plastered and is traveling to Sweden today.

She's gone for six weeks.

- I have seen the X-rays and that is what we can call an ankle fracture.

Anna is plastered and will fly home as soon as possible and then we do further examinations in Sweden, says the national team doctor Jakob Swanberg in a press release.

On Sunday, another survey will be conducted on Swedish soil.

- What is positive is that it was a "nice" bone fracture that I understood it to be.

Six weeks, then I can be back, she says.

She has not undergone any surgery, it is uncertain if there will be any.

It is also unclear what will happen to the World Cup in Cortina.

February 20 slalom will be decided in the Cortina WC.

- I try to be in the present and not focus too far ahead.

But of course I will do everything to be back as soon as I can.

I really hope I can be back this season, says Swenn Larsson.
