in the evening starts Sweden’s preparations ahead of the European Championships.

the national team meets Turkey away from home and coach Erik Hamrén had chosen to focus on four heroes from the U21 EM in the starting line – Nilsson-Lindelöf, Augstinsson, Guidetti and Oscar Lewicki.

Now, the last-named had to leave the national team.

the reason is that the 23-year-old midfielder will be a father to their second child.

– He hung here to play the game, that did not happen. But I think that’s about as planned at the time, said the national team’s press officer Niklas Bodell and continues:

– He left this morning. The important thing was that he would get home and anywhere in time ….

And Albin Ekdal is ready to start?

– No obstacles at all. He has been told that he will play.

Mentally tough

Albin Ekdal has been away from football for a long time for an injury to one ankle.

he started with the league in Germany, but has a way to go to top form.

– I feel alright. I’ve played three games in five months, but is relatively okay in the body. Then I have obviously a way to go after a long break due to injury, said Albin Ekdal when he met the media earlier in the week.

Is there a fear of looking up something?

– No, I’m running full speed. Then get the make or break. Hopefully wearing it …

The rehabilitation period has gone well, but has been mentally tough.

– It’s tough to be damaged. Sometimes it is pretty damn boring to go into the gym every day and run the same exercises, but it’s so it’s like footballers. One should not complain, everyone becomes damaged sooner or later.

What is missing now?

– It’s a

bit of everything. It’s off the tempo, the muscles are a little more fragile than before the injury so you have to be on their guard.

Pointed offensive

He said earlier this week that the competition in the inner midfield is tough as himself should the national team. Now, however, he start the match instead of starting on the bench.

He knows it will be a difficult task.

– Turkey is a good team so it will be a tough match, says he said.

What’s in this phase you should set?

– it is well to try to set the time. But to get a secure defense game and then round out an attack.

match starts 19:45 and broadcast on TV4.
