She was on the bench against Finland but did not get any playing time.
Now Stina Blackstenius has recovered and is in full training after the injury she suffered against Benfica three weeks ago.
- I have been able to increase my training and now I am fully up and running.
It feels like it is moving forward, says Blackstenius.
Are you ready to start against Slovakia?
- Since I trained fully, I will be eligible for selection.
Gerhardsson secretive
During Monday's press conference, the national team captain Peter Gerhardsson gave no indication of what a possible starting eleven against Slovakia might look like.
As usual, he was restrained with details around the eleven.
Does Stina start or end the match?
- We shall see.
It is always important to have a start and end eleven.
The three who came to Finland were contributors in the final forcing.
You're so secretive?
- I know what's going on in my brain.
Part of it is better that no one gets to know.
We are curious.
- Everyone wants to know everything, but I'm not that interested, says Gerhardsson with a grin.
Nominated for Ballon d'Or
The night before the World Cup qualifier in Malmö, Blackstenius gets to recharge with a gala - at a distance.
The star is - together with Magdalena Andersson - nominated for the Ballon d'Or.
A gala held in the middle of the ladies' national team gathering.
- It's a great feeling to see his name on the list among the absolutely incredible players who are nominated.
It was not something I had expected.
I'm very happy and proud of that, of course.
- It is strange and big for me personally.
It's something you could not even imagine or dream about when you were younger.
How much would you like to be in place?
- It would have been super cool to be there and experience such a gala.
Unlucky that it will not be so.
The match against Slovakia will be played at 19.00 on Tuesday and will be broadcast on SVT 2 / Play.
