Linköping’s center Christopher Ehn has been called up to Tre Kronor to broaden the squad in the Karjala tournament.
He took part in Tre Kronor’s match warm-up before the meeting with the Czech Republic this evening, but is then out of the team together with Luleå’s defender Marcus Hardegård.
– We brought in Christoffer so that we know we are confident that we can fully match the team for the weekend. We have a blemish here and there. Today we have Ehn and Hardegård out of the team, but they will come into play on Saturday, says the national team captain Sam Hallam.

Tre Kronor now has two goalkeepers, eight backs and 14 forwards in the squad and five of the players, including 27-year-old Ehn, are national team debutants.
After tonight’s match against the Czech Republic in Växjö, Tre Kronor travels to Tampere and meets Switzerland on Saturday and Finland on Sunday.
