Euro 2022: Why Fridolina Rolfo could be Sweden’s hero vs England

Sweden are blessed with a number of exceptional players but few are more important to the side than Fridolina Rolfo. 

The Barcelona star can operate as a forward, in midfield or in defence, though she has mostly featured as a winger for Sweden of late. 

With England preparing to face Sweden in the semi-finals at Euro 2022, they must find a way of dealing with the impressive Rolfo. 

The 28-year-old has netted once already in the tournament and while she did attract some criticism for her performance against Belgium in the quarter-finals, she nonetheless has the potential to cause the Lionesses huge problems.

Rolfo spent much of her youth career at Swedish teams, including Jitex and Linköping.

While at Linköping, Rolfo scored a hat-trick on her Women’s Champions League debut against Liverpool. 

This led to interest from a number of European clubs and the Swede made the switch to Germany in 2017 –– signing for Bayern Munich. 

After 24 goals in 51 appearances for Bayern, current Frauen-Bundesliga champions Wolfsburg came calling. 

Rolfo won three trophies during her time at Wolfsburg, including one Frauen-Bundesliga title and two DFB-Pokal Frauen cups.
