Umeå's manager Roland Arnqvist says that the club still hasn't decided whether to release Marta for the match or not. He wants to be able to play with his best team (Umeå are facing Hammarby, Göteborg and Malmö between the 13 and 20 April), but at the same time he wants to keep the good relations Umeå has with the Brazilian national team.
"This shouldn't be allowed to happen and would never have happened in men's football", commented Roland Arnqvist the conflicting schedules. He might be right about the short notice, but during the African Championships earlier this year, you didn't see any Drogba or Essien playing club football. The more the women's game grows, the more of this we will see.
