The middle six was tested positive on Friday and was isolated directly at the hotel.

On Saturday, he tested positive for an extra PCR test.

"It's never fun to get a message like this and of course it feels extremely sad not to be able to help the team on the pitch.

I had been looking forward to meeting Spain, but will see the match on TV instead and I hope the guys go in and beat them.

I feel good and hope that I will be able to be back on the track again ", says Darj in a press release.

The 30-year-old thus misses tonight's match against Spain and the rest of the group stage.

He is back in the main round at the earliest if Sweden gets there.

Felix Möller makes his championship debut against Spain in Darj's absence.
