Kosovare Asllani Joins Sweden Training as She Continues Cruciate Ligament Recovery

Good news for the Swedish women's national football team. Kosovare Asllani, 37, was at Bosön and did some light training. “It was great to see her,” says Filippa Angeldahl.

It was at the end of March that Asllani tore her cruciate ligament while playing for her club, London City.

Since then, the attacking midfielder has been working on her comeback.

On Sunday, the star joined the Swedish national team for training at Bosön outside Stockholm ahead of Tuesday's World Cup playoff match against Lithuania.

It's so good that she's here. I want to give credit to how she's handled her rehabilitation and how great she's been with the physiotherapists. If you jog with a ball today, you've done well. I'm really impressed, says assistant national team captain Johanna Almgren.

Asllani was seen jogging a little and doing some light exercises with a ball.

Her leadership and her energy - it was great to see her. It feels normal to have her in the group. She has been with us for a long time and is an important player for us, says Filippa Angeldahl.

Sweden has a 5–0 lead from Friday's match.
