In the Gothenburg semi-final four weeks ago, Olle Östberg of Brandsta City Släckers injured his finger during rehearsals and had to have four stitches.
With one week left until the final in Stockholm, Östberg was hospitalized for knee problems, which turned out to be acute gout.
He has difficulty walking and will not attend the press conference on Thursday.
We have to save him now, says Ulf Johansson.
However, Östberg will participate in Thursday's rehearsal. He will be wheeled into a wheelchair and then helped onto the stage.
The goal is still for him to be in the final on Saturday.
He gets to stand at the keyboard and feel the moves, says Glenn Borgkvist.
