Z. Ibrahimovic: The doors to the Swedish national team are not closed to me

"Manchester United" forward Zlatan Ibrahimović does not rule out the possibility of returning to the Swedish national team, but he will not do it accidentally - the striker will consider this possibility only if he regains his fitness form.

The Swedish national team "stole" a ticket to the 2018 World Cup from Italy at the end of the year. There were rumors in the public space that the 36-year-old Swede could return to the national team and help them in Russia.

However, the season is proving to be very difficult for the striker himself - he has only played seven games due to injuries. It is expected that the Swede will return to the field in the near future, but there are doubts about his fitness.

"We'll see, it's a difficult question," - Ibra said about his chances of playing in the World Cup. - I want to feel that I can still play at a high level. I don't want to return just because I have a certain name. But the doors are never closed."

"I can't hide that I miss the national team. When you spend 20 years there and see others successfully playing, it's not easy to come to terms with it.

Lately, it has been even harder for me, because I can't play due to injuries. I want to play both with the club and the national team, which is doing a great job," the striker added.
