It was in the meeting with Skirö that Ström was hit on the right hand, which created a fracture in the thumb.

She has since worn a bandage for two weeks - a bandage which is now gone and replaced by a molded guard.

During Ström's injury period, Västerås took the opportunity to win against Villa 6-3 and broke Villa's winning streak of eleven months and 21 games.

- It was terrible to have to follow the match from the sidelines.

It was the first match in many years that I missed, I have hardly been sick or injured before, says Tilda Ström to Nya Lidköpings-Tidningen.

Ström finished the scoring by making it 9-2 with just over ten minutes left after a solo number – her second goal of the day.
