William Wallinder
Corona’s troubles continue for the Junior Crowns. The virus has reportedly spread to the previous camp
Modobacken William Wallinder is now forced to leave the team after testing positive for COVID-19.
– We have two isolated people who are not in the team right now, says the captain of the national team, Tomás Montén.
It already started late last week.
Djurgården star William Eklund had to say no to JVM because of the crown.
A hard blow for Sweden and the captain of the team, Tomas Montén, who loses one of his best offensive tips.
Eklund has been a great success in Djurgården this autumn with seven goals and twelve points from 16 matches. He has been chain matched with Alexander Holtz, who by one point more than Eklund leads the juniors’ points in the SHL, and the duo could have become a strong Swedish unit in the junior WC in Edmonton, which is decided on 25 December to January 5.
On Sunday, it was the next player to show up, Frölunda’s Karl Henriksson.
But it doesn’t end there.
JVM dream finished
Now William Wallinder has also tested positive and is therefore removed from the JVM team.
When the team met in Stockholm on Sunday evening and Monday, it was clear that several were suspected of being infected.
According to Sportbladet, at least one player (Wallinder) was infected with corona, according to a rapid test that was carried out in Arlanda.
Information confirmed by Tomas Montén:
– We have two isolated people who are not on the team right now. We are waiting for the results of the tests to decide who can participate or not, says Montén.
– I don’t want to comment. I’m waiting for an answer for another test, says the player in question.
But now Modo confirms that William Wallinder is the one who has tested positive and left the squad. Therefore, JVM’s dream is over for the hill that Detroit qualified in the second round of the draft. According to the rules, junior crowns also cannot call a Wallinder replacement.
A leader must also be quarantined in Stockholm. Another larger and more accurate test (the so-called PCR test) has been done and the response to that test will come in the evening or tomorrow.
