Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been included this Tuesday in Sweden’s list for the decisive match against Spain, in which both teams will foreseeably play the direct pass to the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The crack returned in March five years after leaving it, but the injuries They prevented him from being in the last Eurocup and in the following qualifying matches.

A few days before the key commitments for the Qualifiers, coach Jan ‘Janne’ Andersson justified the presence of the AC Milan man on the roster. “He gives us qualities that allow us to play in a different way, in addition to his incredible danger in the face of the goal and his seniority”he said at a press conference.

Likewise, the Scandinavian strategist believes that the 40-year-old forward has shown in his comeback with the Italian team that he is at his best level and highlighted his performance against Roma on the last day of Serie A.

Sweden will play the last two games of the group away: first, against Georgia, on the 11th, and three later, in Seville against Spain, which now leads by two points and has to play first in Athens against Greece still with options to be second if he defeats Luis Enrique’s team.

Two days from the end, the Ibrahimovic team is leading with 15 points. While the ‘Red’ has 13 units and the Greeks obtained nine. The leader will go directly to the World Cup event and the escort will go on to the playoffs round.

Zlatan is not the only novelty

Andersson has called up 26 players this time, alluding to the possibility that there may be some casualties after the game against Georgia and problems in the center of the defense.

Filip Helander, due to injury, and Marcus Danielsson, due to quarantine problems due to the coronavirus in China, are safe casualties, while captain Nilsson Lindelöf drags discomfort.

Hence, Andersson admitted today that he has spoken again with the central Pontus Jansson (Brentford), retired from the national team after the European Championship, although he has not managed to convince him to change his mind.

Apart from Nilsson Lindelöf and Joakim Nilsson (Arminia Bilefeld), the Swedish coach has called in two more defenders to occupy the center of the defense: Alexander Milosevic, who plays in the Swedish AIK, and the veteran Samuel Holmén (of the Turkish Caykur Rizespor ), converted to central in his last seasons.
