Roberts: Nothing is broken in any case

Handball star Jamina Roberts badly injured her right foot in the last club team match before the European Championship. She has had her foot X-rayed, but is not afraid to miss her 18th championship in her career. As I understand it, nothing is broken in any case, she says.

Roberts joined the national team's gathering in Lund ahead of the European Championship after having X-rayed her injured right foot in Malmö.

I think it feels completely okay, but the physiotherapists will take a look at it first, then they'll lay out a plan, says the 34-year-old.

She still hasn't received any answer from the X-ray, but it feels much better in her foot compared to the days after Roberts injured herself in Vipers Kristiansands Champions League match away against Ludwigsburg.

Absolute, it's become much better. The first two days I was on crutches, now I'm walking almost normally. It's gone very fast forward and it feels very positive, she says.

Her foot twisted completely after she had gone up and covered a shot. She landed on someone else's foot.

I still don't know what it is, but as I've understood it, it's not broken in any case. I never believed that either.

Do you feel that the European Championship is in danger?

No, she says briefly.

Sweden is preparing with double national team matches against Poland in Ystad and Lund this weekend.

If I had gotten to decide, I would have played, but I don't get to decide and I have no medical knowledge. It's clear that it might be stupid to risk something now with two training matches against Poland, but if it had been two championship matches, a semifinal or so, I would have played, says Jamina Roberts.

Sweden's group stage matches:

28/11: North Macedonia.

30/11: Hungary.

2/12: Turkey.

Sweden plays its group stage and potential intermediate round in Debrecen, Hungary. The two top teams in six four-team groups advance to the intermediate round, where two six-team groups are created.

The two top teams in the six-team groups advance to the semifinal, which, like the medal matches, takes place in Vienna, Austria.

The European Championship takes place from 28 November to 15 December.

The women's handball team is preparing with two national team matches against Poland, on 23 November in Ystad and a day later in Lund.
