Stina Blackstenius has most often been Sweden's spearhead in the starting eleven.
But when you meet the reigning European champion the Netherlands tomorrow in the European Championship premiere, she will not be.
- If I were to say she starts, no one would believe me anyway, so it's just as well that I say she will be available to jump in.
This is worrying for the Netherlands as well.
When will she come in and what will she do, says Gerhardsson.
Gerhardsson mentions Rebecka Blomqvist and Lina Hurtig as possible replacements.
- We have good choices for possible replacements.
They will have a hard time, says the league captain.
Midfielder Linda Sembrant has also been injured before the premiere.
She will not start against the Netherlands either.
- Stina is further ahead.
On the one hand, she has trained more continuously than Linda has done.
Then we will look for the session we are going to complete today.
Then I get a report from the medical team and then the time aspect is important and I have never gone over it.
If they say that someone can handle 45 minutes, then I may have played 30, Gerhardsson says to SVT Sport.
