Östberg has now been discharged, but his participation in the final on Saturday is in doubt. He suffered from acute gout and was hospitalized with a week to go until the final at Friends Arena in Stockholm.

It is now uncertain whether Östberg will be able to take part in the final.

It would be a disaster if I couldn't be there. We've been preparing for so many months. But health must come first, he tells Aftonbladet.

Brandsta City Extinguishers is competing with the entry "Straight Into the Fire".
