The Swedish national handball team now has two positive covid incidents in the European Championship squad.

On Friday, Max Darj tested positive and missed the match against Spain last.

Last night came the next positive test for a player in the national team.

Daniel Pettersson has tested positive.

That is why the national handball team is now calling in Valter Chrintz as a replacement.

Chrintz joins Bratislava during the day, but it is unclear if he will play tonight's important match against the Czech Republic.

- We will do what we can to get Valter ready for tonight's match, says national team captain Glenn Solberg.
