Fridolina Rolfö to Miss Training Ahead of Euro 2025 Due to Ankle Injury

Fridolina Rolfö, a pivotal player for the Swedish women's national football team, is absent from training at Åhus as the team prepares for the upcoming European Championship (EM). The injury she suffered—damaging two ligaments in her left ankle—occurred during a Nations League match against Denmark on June 3. As a result, she will not train with the team for several days. Team doctor Houman Ebrahimi stated that Rolfö is set to join the national squad for further examinations, which will be conducted in cooperation with her club, FC Barcelona.

Although Rolfö was included in the squad despite her injury, her absence raises concern among the team's management and fans. National team coach Peter Gerhardsson emphasized her importance to the team and indicated that ongoing assessments will be crucial for deciding her potential involvement in the tournament. Rolfö has recently been seen on crutches and wearing a protective boot, which further highlights the severity of her condition. In light of her uncertain participation, Matilda Vinberg from Tottenham has been called up to the EM squad as a backup.

Sweden's EM opener against Denmark is scheduled for July 4, and the team will also face Poland and Germany in their group matches. Before the tournament kicks off, they are set to play a final warm-up match against Norway in Oslo on Thursday. Rolfö’s injury and absence could significantly impact Sweden’s strategy and lineup as they prepare for the prestigious championship.

As the team collaborates with Rolfö’s club for updates on her rehabilitation, the situation remains fluid, with developments expected shortly as the tournament approaches.
