First, Jim Gottfridsson was suspended. Late on Thursday evening, the nightmare news also arrived that Felix Claar, who complained of heel pain after the last match, will miss the handball national team's decisive match against Croatia in the Olympic Games on Friday.

Therefore, Sweden must manage without both its regular midfielders.

"It's clear that it's a setback for us that we won't have Felix Claar, Jim Gottfridsson, and Daniel Pettersson available tomorrow, but it's pleasing that we have Max Darj back and that we have such a good player as Jonathan Edvardsson with us on site. We're going into the game with 13 players who hold a very high class and are going for victory against Croatia", says national team captain Glenn Solberg in a statement.

Sweden has only won one of three matches in the group stage and risks missing the quarterfinals next week, despite coming to Paris as one of the big medal favorites.
