Fridolina Rolfö, perhaps the biggest star in the Swedish national team, could not train with the team during the camp in Åhus.

The news about her ligament injury in one foot – which she suffered against Denmark a few weeks ago – has also been scarce.

Now, however, she has been included in the Swedish European Championship squad ahead of the departure to Switzerland.

The medical team has done some tests and we had a meeting last night here in Oslo, says Peter Gerhardsson after the 2–0 win against Norway.

Everything was positive so we could include her.

What it means for the Barcelona star's chances of playing in the European Championship, for example already in the premiere against Denmark in a week, remains to be seen.

We'll see what it means ahead. There will be a new update 24 hours before the Denmark match, says Peter Gerhardsson.

But now we have bought ourselves some time and so far it looks good.

Matilda Vinberg, who was called in as a possible replacement in the squad, will however follow to Switzerland as planned.

Yes, she's going with and 24 hours before Denmark we will know more. But at the moment this was the first thing we wanted an answer to, so that's why they tested it properly last night, says the national team captain.
