Sweden boss Janne Andersson has called up six reserve players to train in a separate bubble in case they are needed to replace others who test positive for COVID-19 ahead of their Euro 2020 opener against Spain on Monday.

Adriyan Karmakar, son of former Indian rifle shooter Joydeep Karmakar, made a stellar debut at the ISSF Junior World Cup in Suhl, Germany, securing a silver medal in the 50m rifle prone event. His score of 626.7 not only earned him the first medal for India in the tournament but also set a new junior national record.

Sweden will not call up any reserves and will instead keep Dejan Kulusevski and Mattias Svanberg even though the pair have both tested positive for Covid-19, the Swedish Football Association said Monday. The final lineup of the squad was announced mere hours before the country's Euro 2020 debut against Spain.

Daniil Medvedev advanced to the second round of the Australian Open after a hard-fought victory over Jesper de Jong. The feisty Russian expressed his commitment to maintaining a more positive on-court demeanor, a change he has been actively pursuing. Medvedev, a three-time runner-up in Melbourne, aims to improve on last year's early exit.

Adriyan Karmakar, once losing interest in shooting, found renewed passion through his father's guidance. He secured a silver medal in the 50m rifle prone event at the ISSF Junior World Cup in Suhl, Germany. He became the first Indian to achieve this feat. Overcoming equipment issues, he utilised his father's old rifle.
