Blackstenius headed Sweden's goal in the 1-2 loss in Reims on Friday. The question is whether she will even play in Tuesday's decisive return match at 3 Arena. The Arsenal striker was not present when the national football team trained at the match arena on Monday - due to symptoms of illness.
"A cold, so we chose to have her in the hotel today and then we will do an evaluation tomorrow morning. We hope that she can be available in the squad, but as a safety measure we chose not to have her in training today," says Sweden's national team captain Tony Gustavsson.
Häcken midfielder Anna Anvegård, who has been in brilliant form in the women's Swedish league during the autumn, is also doubtful to play. Anvegård fell hard and injured her left shoulder during Sunday's training, and was unable to run at full speed the day before the match.
"She trained without contact today, so as not to risk anything on her. But the same thing there, we'll wait until tomorrow and then the medical team will let me know if she's available," says Gustavsson.
The winner of the doubles match will take the bronze medal in the Nations League. The match kicks off at 7 p.m. on Tuesday evening.
