It was when the dent was to be lifted after the victory in Portugal that team captain Caroline Seger called up midfielder Linda Sembrant.

Sembrant made a comeback in the national team squad in the Algarve Cup after the injury she sustained in May 2021.

Linda Sembrant is one of my closest friends.

A player who has fought extremely hard with his injury and been away from the national team for a long time.

I thought she should be allowed to lift the dent.

She should feel that she means exactly as much as before, says Seger to SVT Sport.

- It is important to support each other in times of adversity.

We do it for each other all the time.
