Petra Johansson

Anna Petra Sofia Johansson (née Larsson; born 30 September 1988) is a Swedish football midfielder. She previously played for Linköping FC and during the 2012–13 winter season she represented Australian W-League team Melbourne Victory.

Club career In November 2016 Johansson announced that she was returning to Eskilstuna United after a year of football retirement, during which she changed her surname from Larsson and gave birth to daughter Norah.

International career Johansson made her senior international debut on 19 August 2009, in Sweden's 1–0 friendly defeat by Norway in Enköping. She was named in national coach Thomas Dennerby's squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2009, as cover for Nilla Fischer who was carrying a heel injury.

After a five-year hiatus, Johansson returned to the national team for a 1–0 UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying win over Denmark in October 2015. The following month she made a shock retirement from football aged 27 years to concentrate on her civilian career. The decision disappointed national coach Pia Sundhage, who was planning to select Johansson for the 2016 UEFA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
