Many national teams have positive covid-19 tests with one week left until the European Handball Championship.
In addition to Sweden's men, France, Portugal and Denmark have been affected.
It will be an outburst in the Portuguese national team, eight Frenchmen and a Dane who has been isolated from the rest of the troops.
For the reigning world champion team Denmark, it is the goalkeeper Janinck Green who tested positive.
- First of all, I'm sorry for Jannick's sake.
He's sad and a little shocked.
In the national team squad, we are subject to a strict hygiene protocol, which will try to prevent corona infection from occurring.
We can turn that protocol upside down and therefore we are now also increasing the test capacity, says Danish sports director Morten Henriksen.
The Danish team is preparing in Tårnby, and will face Norway in double meetings before Montenegro waits for the European Championship premiere on 13 January.
Denmark also has Slovenia and northern Macedonia in its group.
Sweden has Spain, the Czech Republic and Bosnia & Herzegovina in its European Championship group.
The European Championships are decided in Hungary and Slovakia.
