When the news that Domanski Lyfors had a malignant tumor that cannot be surgically removed came last spring, Seger was in despair. She has always had a close relationship with Marika.
– It is extremely heavy. She means everything to Swedish football, and she has been with me my whole adult life. So, incredibly heavy of course. But then… Hope is the last thing that abandons you and she is a fighter. So we support her in this difficult time, she said earlier.
This is so beautiful and so sad at the same time. Thank you Caroline Seger for a wonderful career and for all the work you put in for the national team.
Keep fighting, Marika. You are a strong fighter and many of us are thinking of you.
