The injury bug continues to bite World Cup players. Patrik Berglund will be the beneficiary, as he has been named to Team Sweden.
In an interesting turn of events, Berglund was eventually put on the team in the spot some thought he should have had anyway. Richard Rakell was named in Alexander Steen‘s place when he was officially ruled out with his shoulder issue.
Rakell now has a stomach virus and had to be admitted to the hospital. The virus, coupled Rakell being over in Sweden, have ruled him out of the tournament.
