The Finnish national team, known as the Lions, has welcomed the return of players Mikael Granlund and Anton Lundell to practice as they prepare for their quarterfinal matchup. Their presence is especially reassuring for the team after previous concerns about Lundell's health, as he had missed the preceding game against Italy due to illness. Alongside Lundell, Oliver Kapanen was also absent from the same match but has since returned to training, indicating progress in the team's readiness for the knockout stage of the competition.

As Finland gears up for the crucial match against the winner of the Switzerland-Italy game, the team is adjusting its strategies and lineups based on player availability. The upcoming schedule is packed with important fixtures, including quarterfinals, semifinals, and the finals, all taking place within a short span. The performance of key players like Granlund and Lundell will be pivotal for Finland's aspirations of advancing further in the tournament, adding to the intensity of the competition as the event progresses.

This news brings a sense of optimism not just for the players but also for Finnish fans who are passionately supporting their national team in this high-stakes environment. With the tournament drawing closer to its climax, each match becomes increasingly significant, and the resurgence of critical team members could be a determining factor in Finland’s success in the following rounds.
