Fridolina Rolfö's Injury Update: Participation in Euro 2025 Still Uncertain
Fridolina Rolfö is making progress in her recovery, but likely will miss the Euro 2025 opener against Denmark.
Key Points
- • Fridolina Rolfö is unlikely to play in the opening match against Denmark due to injury.
- • Team doctor Houman Ebrahimi reports positive rehabilitation progress.
- • Rolfö is training individually and has not yet joined full team practices.
- • Matilda Vinberg has been called up as a reserve if Rolfö cannot participate.
Fridolina Rolfö’s participation in the upcoming Euro 2025 tournament remains in doubt as she continues to recover from a left ankle injury sustained earlier this month. According to Sweden’s team doctor Houman Ebrahimi, while Rolfö is making progress, she is unlikely to be ready for the opening match against Denmark on July 2. Ebrahimi stated, "It’s not likely she will be ready for the match on Friday," stressing that a final decision regarding her involvement will be made shortly before the game.
Currently, Rolfö is training individually under the supervision of the medical team and has not yet returned to full training with her teammates. The injury, diagnosed as a ligament issue affecting multiple ligaments, requires careful monitoring and gradual rehabilitation. Ebrahimi described Rolfö as 'tough' and highlighted her commitment to return to the field. In her absence, Matilda Vinberg has been brought in as a reserve player to support the team as they prepare for the tournament.
The coaching staff faces a critical decision soon whether to keep Rolfö on the roster for potential later games or replace her, with hopes for her to contribute later in the tournament despite the setback.
Meanwhile, the team gears up for their first match against Denmark, and Rolfö's situation continues to be closely watched during her recovery process.
As anticipation builds for Euro 2025, the Swedish team remains hopeful about Rolfö’s potential contribution later in the tournament.
