The Malmö native has further health issues after only returning to action at the end of February following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in May. Since then, he managed to become the oldest scorer in the history of the Italian league at the age of 41 years and 166 days, thanks to a goal in the Udine net in a 1-3 defeat, and last week, after almost a year, he started for the Swedish national team. In the opening qualifying match for the European Championship 2024 with Belgium (0:3), he jumped in as a substitute player, but in the next match against Azerbaijan (5:0), the national team’s all-time best scorer with 62 hits did not play due to another, unspecified injury.
Ibrahimovic won the title with AC Milan last year and has a contract until the end of the season. “Rossoneri” are fourth after 27 rounds of the Italian league. In the first match after the national team break, they will play in Naples on Sunday, with whom they will then meet twice in the Champions League.
