The blue-yellow football ladies need a point at home on the Strawberry arena on Tuesday evening to secure the group win in the Nations League. And Sweden goes into the match with, as it seems, 26 healthy and injury-free players.
Only one, suspended Magdalena Eriksson, will definitely miss the match.
Those who were left out of the squad last time, all are available now. All are available tomorrow, says Sweden's national team captain Peter Gerhardsson.
Unexpected point drop
Before last week's away match against Italy (0-0), newly crowned Champions League winners Stina Blackstenius and Amanda Ilestedt had problems with illness symptoms. Both stood over Friday's match, as did the third Arsenal-Swede Lina Hurtig.
On Monday, all three trained at the national arena in Solna.
Despite Sweden dropping points twice against bottom-of-the-table Wales, the situation ahead of the decisive match is as good as Peter Gerhardsson could have wished for.
Missing the party
If we win the group, we are among the four best in the Nations League. It's a great situation even though we've messed it up a bit against Wales, says Peter Gerhardsson.
The playoffs in the fall, however, he will not get to experience himself, if Sweden makes it that far. Gerhardsson will step down as national team captain after the summer's European Championship and then pass on to Tony Gustavsson.
But I would still feel enormous joy for the girls, so it's natural that you want to do your best even though I won't get to be there myself.
