Helsingborg player and national team player Martin Olsson was selected for Janne Andersson’s team for the Nations League matches against France and Portugal. At the same time, Fotbollskanalen was able to previously report that Helsingborgs IF have suffered positive crown drops in team A and before the club’s match against Djurgården, more players fell ill.

That is why SvFF now chooses to act. On the website, the association announces that Martin Olsson will be leaving the team after the corona outbreak at Helsingborgs IF.

“Given the risk of contagion, the management of the national team has decided to withdraw the selection of Martin Olsson for the collection and the Nations League matches against France and Portugal”, the union writes.

– I spoke to Martin tonight. Both he and I think it’s very boring, but he fully understands the decision, says national team captain Janne Andersson on the SvFF website.

The union also writes that Olsson, at present, will not be replaced.

The soccer channel spoke earlier this weekend with SvFF doctor Anders Valentin about how they viewed the situation with Martin Olsson’s national team.

– The idea is that it will come on Monday. We have two days to see what happens. If you have any symptoms, they can re-examine you, but I don’t think it should come. So you have been partially exposed and if you have symptoms then you have to interpret that as there is a risk that you will be affected even if the test is negative, Valentin said at the time.

When asked how the national team tests during the collection, Valentin replied:

– On Wednesday we will try. Then we follow all the rules with distancing and hygiene and so on. Sometimes it takes a few days before the tests are positive too. Many of those who have positive tests and symptoms; Sometimes several tests are needed before receiving a pacifier. It’s a bit complicated, you have to weigh everything together. Many players are evaluated at fairly tight intervals.
