There were rumours that Ibrahimovic would be called up for the Swedish national team ahead of their games later this month, and now it is official.
According to what another broadcaster in SportMediaset are reporting (via MilanNews), Pioli will certainly have Simon Kjaer back after he missed the game against Napoli and there is a good chance of seeing Alessio Romagnoli and Davide Calabria available too. It is also to be understood whether Zlatan will start or be on the bench.
