(Georgios Kefalas/Keystone via AP) NEUCHTEL, Switzerland (AP) — Denmark midfielder Emma Snerle will miss her country's final match at the Women's European Championship with a concussion. Snerle had to be substituted in the 69th minute of Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Germany after a clearance from a teammate hit the 24-year-old squarely in the face, moments before Germany's second goal. Advertisement 'Emma Snerle is unavailable for the European Championship match against Poland on Saturday due to the head injury she suffered in the match against Germany,' the Danish soccer federation said in a post on X. 'We wish Snerle a very good and speedy recovery.' There is little to play for in Saturday's match as both Denmark and Poland have been eliminated after both lost to Sweden and Germany. ___ AP soccer:

Swedes take to the air to book Euro 2025 knockout spot
LUCERNE, Switzerland, July 8 (Reuters) - Sweden subjected Poland to an all-out aerial attack, scoring three headed goals in a 3-0 win to reach the knockout stages of the women's European Championship, with captain Kosovare Asllani playing the role of air traffic controller throughout. The mercurial 35-year-old sent an early looping header bouncing off the woodwork before teeing up Stina Blackstenius to open the scoring. She then netted a header herself after the break, with Lina Hurtig adding a third from a corner as the Swedes guaranteed a top-two spot in Group C and a place in the next round. They will face Germany in their final group game on Saturday to decide who finishes top. "The plan was to attack through the flanks and through the wings, because we knew we would have a lot of space there, so we tried to attack, and got a lot of crosses in," Asllani told Reuters. "The first goal, I waited one second extra, waited for their defenders to move, for me to chip it in to Stina. So it's three headers, three beautiful goals, the three points." The Swedes never relented, pushing down the wings throughout the game. "We had seen clips where they are centred themselves a lot, so it felt natural for us to go wide and work from there. It worked for the whole game, so we just kept going at it," midfielder Filippa Angeldahl told Reuters. "We'll go through Germany and we'll take a lot of things with us from today. Obviously we're strong in the box and we want to get in the box as much as possible." With Poland and Denmark now eliminated, it remains to be seen whether the Swedes will adopt the same tactics against Germany when the two sides battle it out in Zurich, and Asllani had a steely look when asked what the plan would be. "We want to win the group. That's clear," she said.

Board games, bracelets and bike rides - how Sweden avoid boredom at Euros
CHAM, Switzerland, July 6 (Reuters) - Sweden may spend most of their time focusing on football at the Women's Euros but in their downtime defender Magdalena Eriksson and her teammates are doing everything from playing board games and making bracelets to going on bike rides to avoid boredom. However, when the games or deck of cards come out so too does Eriksson's competitive streak, which means in the time earmarked for relaxation there is another battle to win. "Who do you think?" Eriksson said laughing when asked who the sorest loser in the team is, before pointing to herself. "Actually, there's a lot of them -- maybe I'm the most outspoken in that way, but I think many, many in our team are really sore losers," she added. Asked who the worst losers in the squad were, midfielder Hanna Bennison was not afraid to name more senior teammates. "I would say Magda, Filippa (Angeldahl) and (Johanna) Rytting Kaneryd," the 22-year-old told Reuters. "I'm competitive but I'm not like a bad loser or a bad winner. I'm pretty relaxed and chilled." Headquartered in a hotel in the picturesque Swiss town of Cham specifically designed to meet the needs of elite athletes, the Swedes feel they have the facilities and tranquillity they need, but the solitude does pose occasional problems. "As you can see, around here there is not much to do, but we have a village close by and a lake. Last night, we took some bikes down to the lake and had a swim, so we try to do these things to get out of this place a little bit as well," Eriksson said. The weather has been so hot in Switzerland lately that players have been staying out of the sun to save energy, which has meant finding other ways to spend their time at the hotel. "Sometimes we play games, we also make bracelets, like with plastic pearls, yeah? Otherwise, we have just been watching all the other games. Usually we sit together in the players' lounge and watch together," Bennison explained. "We're following the games and watching the games, and we're training," Eriksson said. "We're focusing on recovery and gym, so I think, for the moment, we're finding things to do. And yeah, we're really enjoying this beautiful country." With Eriksson nursing an unspecified injury that saw her miss the opening 1-0 win over Denmark, the hotel's gym and recovery facilities are essential as she seeks to regain fitness for the remaining Group C games against Poland and Germany. "I think from a physical point of view, we have everything we need here to be at our best when the game comes, so it's a great facility in that way," Eriksson said. Despite the Swedes' innate love of winter sports, none of them have paid a visit to the hotel's ice rink yet. "I have not been out on the ice, and I shouldn't be -- then I might get another injury! No, I haven't heard of anyone who's been down there yet," Eriksson said.
