Covid-bubblan runt mästerskapet sprack innan det ens hann spelas den första matchen och utbrotten har varit återkommande. Sverige har haft fem spelare borta på grund av protokollet kring covid-19.

Under förmiddagen i går fick Andreas Palicka klartecken att återkomma endast fem dagar efter sitt positiva prov. Han blev matchvinnare mot Frankrike med en jätteräddning med nio sekunder kvar. Den gav finalplatsen.

Besked vid 09.00 på söndag

There is a heavy reserve capital in the players who are now isolated.

- We have not given up hope of getting back one or some of the players who have been quarantined.

Before 09.00 we have to make any changes in the 19-man squad and no later than 17.00 we then choose which 16 of these play.

If we choose to replace someone or someone, I will announce it at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, says the handball association's media manager Daniel Vandor to SVT Sport.
