Garbenlove on Nylander: “It’s 50/50”

The national team is still waiting for an answer. Will William Nylander, 26, come to the World Cup to strengthen the squad?

– He will naturally be a boost to us with all the skill he has. It’s the expertise we’re lacking, says Garbinlov.

– We called, but I’m waiting for a response from there. It’s 50/50. You never know, he continues.

What is the delay?

– When we communicate with a player, this is only the beginning. They have to get approval from their clubs, insurance, do covid tests and other things that could disrupt the process. Just because a player wants to come to the restroom does not mean that he will come. That’s why we often stand here and give you rather boring answers.

No Wallmark

The captain of the national team also confirmed that midfielder Lukas Walmark will miss tonight’s match against Finland. The 26-year-old also missed yesterday’s winning match against Great Britain.

– He won’t play today either, but the situation is better.

Johann Garbenlov remains vague about the cause.

– Maybe he’s sick, he’s gone anyway, he says.

Status of NHL reinforcements

The Confederate Commander, who is running his last tournament with Tre Kronor, also provides a status update regarding the previously explained reinforcements.

Karl Grundstrom and Jacob Peterson are here and hopefully they can play tonight. First we want to sit down and talk to them and see if they are fit to play or not, but if they are ok we would love to see them play today.

Garbenlove also confirmed that they posed a question about the WC games to Boston goalkeeper Linus Olmark and Pittsburgh defender Marcus Peterson, but said they are also “in the same process” as William Nylander.

Sweden meets Finland tonight, the match starts at 19.20.
