Ibrahimovic back on pitch

Retirement didn’t enter the thoughts of Zlatan Ibrahimovic while he was sidelined for eight months with a swollen left knee following surgery. But his condition certainly had the Swedish soccer great worried. That Ibrahimovic is back and in a position, at the age of 41, to play for his country in a European Championship qualifier is testament to his self-belief and resilience. He’s hoping to be picked for Sweden’s match against Belgium on Friday for his first national team appearance in nearly a year.
