"I spoke to Zlatan Ibrahimovic today, who unfortunately told me his injury will prevent his participation in the European Championship this summer," said Andersson.
"Of course it is sad, especially for Zlatan, but for us too. I hope that he is back on the pitch again as soon as possible." He added.
