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.
