Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not participate in the next European Championship. The Swedish Football Federation announced it this afternoon, revealing that it was the player himself who communicated it to the coach: “Today Zlatan informed Janne Andersson that his injury will prevent him from participating in this summer's Eurocup. Cheers up, we hope to see you back on the grass soon. “
The striker, who will turn 40 in October, underwent new examinations for the knee that was injured during the match against Juve. Dr. Volker Musahl, this morning, visited him in the sports city of Milanello, ruling out injuries in the cruciate ligament, although it detected problems in the cartilage that will need a therapy of six weeks. Too many for Ibra, who decided to withdraw from this summer's tournament, the one that could be the last of his career as an international.
Despite the physical problems he suffered in this course (in which he missed 21 league games), Milan wanted to renew his contract until 2022, with a salary of 7 million net variable included. Prepare well for the next season, that of the very probable return of the rossoneri to the Champions League (they will conquer the pass if tomorrow they beat Cagliari), will be the priority of the Swede.
