Zlatan Ibrahimovic may want to return to international football at this summer’s World Cup, but Karl-Johan Johnsson feels the presence of an “individualist” may disrupt the Sweden camp.
The 36-year-old frontman called time on a memorable career with his country after Euro 2016, with 116 appearances and 62 goals recorded over 15 years.
He has, however, revealed that he would be willing to come back into the fold for another outing at football’s global showpiece in Russia.
His undoubted ability would be welcomed by those in the Swedish squad, but back-up goalkeeper Johnsson fears he may deflect too much attention away from others and force a tactical rethink.
