The team had been on a week-long training camp in Barcelona and were flying home . Mr Kizil told the newspaper how they had tried to fit the entire team on the Germanwings flight , but that the connection time in Düsseldorf to continue their journey home to Sweden was too long .

Mr Kizil said the players are still shocked , and that their thoughts are with the families of the victims . 'All the people on that plane were at the same check-in as us .
