Nathalie Björn is injured and unavailable for Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Serbia in Solna. However, the Chelsea defender still appeared at Strawberry Arena during Friday's training.
The 28-year-old wants to both cheer on the team before the match and be there when several national team retirees (Magdalena Eriksson, Jonna Andersson, Hanna Glas, Peter Gerhardsson) are thanked in connection with it.
She means a lot to the national team, and it's fun to see her again, says midfielder Julia Zigiotti Olme.
The men's World Cup-ready national team coach, Graham Potter, also paid a visit.
"We received very nice congratulations. It was great fun, and we also got the chance to applaud and congratulate them on the World Cup ticket," says women's national team coach Tony Gustavsson.
