Stina Blackstenius left the national team squad for family reasons ahead of Tuesday's 1-0 away win against Italy. Now the 30-year-old could be available to play when the World Cup qualifiers continue this weekend.
"It's great to have Stina back. I'm sure she will get a very warm welcome when she comes here," says Tony Gustavsson.
Blackstenius joins the squad on Wednesday evening. The blue and yellow team remains in Italy before traveling on to Serbia on Friday.
However, it is doubtful Blackstenius will be ready to start on Saturday. Felicia Schröder played from the start in the central attacking position against Italy.
"Football-wise, it should be completely fine. She should be able to train fully and be available for games. Then we'll see how many minutes she has. It's not because she's missed a few days, but because she's had limited playing time at her club," says Gustavsson.
