Watch Andreas Palicka talk about the injury in the player above.
It was at the end of the semi-final against France that Andreas Palicka stepped crookedly and sprained his foot. After the bronze medal match, the goalkeeper reveals that he had to play the bronze medal match with pain relief.
– I felt that the pain relief in the foot dropped sharply when I went out to others.
In the middle of the second half, Palicka got a rest when Tobias Thulin took over in goal. A much needed break according to the bronze hero.
– It is a sprained foot and ligaments that are damaged. Anyone who has sprained their foot knows that it hurts, says Palicka and then adds:
– For me, it is possible to play if you tape hard.
