Finally have Zlatan Ibrahimovic made a comeback after his long injury absence due to knee surgery last summer. “Ibra” has turned 41 years old, but the hunger is still there.
Zlatan’s comeback
The Swedish attacking star has so far made two appearances for Milan with a total of 40 minutes of playing time. Despite that, Zlatan was still not selected for the Italians’ Champions League squad and is therefore not allowed to chase the big dream of a CL title before his career ends.

But as a plaster on the wounds, Ibrahimovic can now be selected for another squad, namely the Swedish national team. European Championship qualifiers against Belgium and Azerbaijan await at the end of March and Jan Andersson now opens up about a possible comeback for Sweden’s all-time leading scorer.
– We have not closed any doors yet, says the union captain in an interview with Dagens Nyheter.
– We have a contact, so we have talked to each other. But we’ll see next Wednesday when we have squad release.
