FC Rosengårds ended the Swedish season with a golden triumph. But the season didn’t end for that. On Thursday the team will play the third match of the Champions League group stage, when Benfica will be the opponents.
But the state of the team is worrying because a total of seven players are missing, which causes him mostly in central defender positions. Only Gudrun Arnardottir is currently available. Last to finish on the injured list is Athinna Persson Lundgren. Since before, both Captain Emma Berglund and Rebecca Knaak are gone.
– The blow Rebecca took against Bayern was very unfortunate and then we are a bit unwell. You don’t have control over everything, says Renee Slegers.
The coach cites Bianca Schmidt and Jessica Wik as possible center back options.
– So we have alternatives, he says.
Also missing are Mimmi Larsson, Caroline Seger, Olivia Welin and Angel Mukasa.
– We are a great team with many good players, everyone is confident in what they have to do. It feels safe before Benfica.
