GOTHENBURG, Sweden (Reuters) - BK Haecken midfielder Elin Rubensson has called on Swedish football to support players who decide to become pregnant during their elite careers and offer them greater security.

Less than a year after the birth of her son Frans, Sweden international Rubensson was back pulling the strings as her side lost 5-1 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on a snowy night in Gothenburg on Thursday.

The 28-year-old said players discuss the situation and suggested either freezing contracts or automatically extending them in the event that a player becomes pregnant. Rubensson revealed that she and her partner Filip decided to have a child when the COVID-19 pandemic caused elite-level sport to be put on hold in 2020.
