Club career

In August 2012 Sjölund sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury while playing for Jitex in a match against Örebro.[4]

Sjölund left Jitex after the 2013 Damallsvenskan season. She was wanted by former club Åland United, but decided to stay in Sweden with Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC.[5]

International career

She is a member of the Finnish national team; scoring on her debut against Belgium in May 2006.[6] She took part in the 2009 European Championship, where she scored one goal in the quarter-finals against England.[7]

National coach Andrée Jeglertz selected Sjölund in Finland's squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013,[8] where she scored the team's only goal at the tournament – a late equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Denmark.

Sjölund also represented Åland at the Island Games football tournament in 2001 and 2007.[9]

Her brother Daniel Sjölund is also an international footballer.[1]
