The Swedish national team may have gone on a potential blow before the European Championship qualifiers against England and France.
Chelsea’s Nathalie Björn started when she faced her former club Everton in the cup. But it was a short-lived story for the Swedish national team defender.
After just over 15 minutes, she sat down at the center circle and took care of her calves, which she had had problems with before – then was forced off the pitch.
Main concern for national team captain Peter Gerhardsson, then – where Lina Hurtig and Magdalena Eriksson are already injured.
Chelsea eventually won 1-0 after Catarina Macario scored the game’s only goal.
Sweden faces England away on April 5th and at home against France on April 9th.
