Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been recalled by Sweden almost a year after his last game at the international level.
The 41-year-old has not featured for his country since featuring as a substitute in their 2-0 loss to Poland in a World Cup qualifying playoff on March 29, 2022.
Which was Ibrahimovic’s 121st senior appearance for the Blue and Yellow. He is currently sixth on Sweden’s list of most capped players.
Ibrahimovic has only played in eight matches for AC Milan since his last outing for Sweden.
After undergoing knee surgery in May, he was unavailable for Milan’s first 30 games of the current season.
But Ibrahimovic returned to action on February 26 and has since featured in three games in Serie A.
Ibrahimovic is Sweden’s all-time leading scorer with 62 goals.
He will be hoping to add to that tally when Sweden hosts Belgium and then Azerbaijan in Euro 2024 qualifiers later this month.
Ibrahimovic retired from international football after Euro 2016 but reversed his decision in 2021.
