Sweden's Fridolina Rolfo may have managed only 13 minutes plus stoppage time against Poland at Women's Euro 2025 so far, but the return of the flying winger from an ankle injury has been a shot in the arm for the Swedes ahead of their Group C showdown with Germany on July 12.

OBERENTFELDEN — Sweden's Fridolina Rolfo may have managed only 13 minutes plus stoppage time against Poland at Women's Euro 2025 so far, but the return of the flying winger from an ankle injury has been a shot in the arm for the Swedes ahead of their Group C showdown with Germany on July 12.
The 31-year-old, who had spells with Frauen-Bundesliga clubs Bayern Munich and VfL Wolfsburg before joining Barcelona in 2021, has faced a race against the clock to be fit, and the July 8 cameo against the Poles gave both her and her team a lift ahead of the group decider.
"I've sacrificed a lot these weeks to be here today, it comes back to you when you've worked so hard. I didn't know if I would get to play in the Euro, it was a nightmare to get injured," Rolfo told reporters at the Swedish team base in Cham on July 10.
