It was during a training session in April that the Swedish handball national team's mainstay Anna Lagerquist injured herself and got a crack in the boat leg.
Since then, she has gradually recovered.
- It is completely good, it has basically healed.
Since we came here to Japan, I have been able to train fully with handball.
The hand has reacted well, so now it's just a matter of getting into the handball tempo and timing.
There is nothing bothering you in your handball game?
- No, it's more that it has been a few months without handball.
It's just me getting into it again.
Every training I take the opportunity to get back in really good shape.
You were lucky according to the doctors?
- A fracture on the boat leg is not so good, but I probably had the "best" fracture of all you can have.
There was a crack in the boat leg and everything was where it should be.
It was just to have a shelter for eight weeks.
No surgery was required.
"I think we showed good play"
The right-handed midfielder, with 69 international caps on his account, has started to get into the training and sleep routines in Japan.
- Now we have been here a few days and the jet lag is starting to drop and I sleep better.
We can take in a little more in the training, so it feels completely okay.
She believes that the national team has good chances to get far - but then it is important to do the job and move on from the group game.
- It is also about who we meet, but I think we have shown during these gatherings and training matches that there are very good games and many good things we have going on.
