Instead, the Swedish team currently consists of Sweden runner-up Mirjam Björklund (183rd in the world rankings), Caijsa Hennemann (377), Fanny Östlund (491) and Jacqueline Cabaj Awad (506).

"We keep the door open for Rebecca.

Of course, I hope that our best player will be able to be in Turkey in April ", says Swedish captain Mattias Arvidsson in a press release.

Due to the corona pandemic, the Swedish women's team has not played any matches in two years.

Sweden is in Group 1 of the Europe / Africa zone and in Turkey they settle with ten nations for three places in the autumn playoffs.

The winners of the playoffs then advance to the main qualifier for the Billie Jean King Cup.
