In the middle of the final stages of the European Championship recharging, first Dejan Kulusevski and then Mattias Svanberg tested positive for covid-19.
Svanberg has missed both group games, while Juventusyttern sat on the bench in the last win against Slovakia.
- It was a little difficult to sit at home.
You get extra hungry, especially when you look at Sweden.
It was as it was, I think it happened for a reason and I accepted it immediately.
I was not sorry that I was positive, I tried to get well and I had a goal to get it pretty quickly.
I do not know who became it in a week, so it was strong of me and Svanberg to get well as quickly as possible, says Dejan Kulusevski at today's press conference.
After Kulusevski's test results, a video circulated on social media where the national team Swede hung out with several people on his leave.
It was not when he became infected, but it was by a relative.
But national team captain Janne Andersson was critical of the action.
“More careful?
Absolutely"
- I do not think it was a good decision, said Janne Andersson.
- We were free, it was a dinner, I ate.
Could I have been more careful?
Absolutely.
But at the end of the day, it's not like I'm coming home and shutting myself in a garage or something.
It was not where I got the infection, so it does not matter much, says Kulusevski.
Sweden meets Poland in the final European Championship group match, Blågult leads the group by four points.
