Close to Sweden's premiere match against the Netherlands, which ended 1-1, it was announced that player Jackie Groenen tested positive for covid-19.
A few days later, the Dutch Confederation announced that Vivianne Miedema had also been affected.
She missed the second match against Portugal, and now also the final match in the group.
- She's fine.
She is still in isolation and has not traveled with the team.
When the symptoms are gone, she can leave the isolation.
Last Friday, she turned 26 and was congratulated through the window by her teammates who had fixed a cake.
- I think it helped her a little.
Not ready to train
When and if the striker is back in the tournament remains to be seen.
- I hope we can start taking some steps forward, but not yet, says Parsons.
The Netherlands stand on as many points (four) as Sweden before the final round, where they face Switzerland.
