AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been called up to the Swedish national team for the first matches of the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
"He feels he is well prepared and can contribute on the field. We need his personality and leadership skills off the field as well. But the main reason for the call-up is that he can be useful in the match, otherwise I would not have included him in the squad.
Zlatan is very interested and wants to contribute. I don't see him as a starting player, but it will probably be like it is in Milan, he will come on the field when his intervention is needed," said Sweden's head coach Janne Andersen.
It should be noted that Sweden will start the qualifiers for Euro 2024 with matches against Belgium and Azerbaijan.
