Stockholm: Star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who quit the Swedish national squad in 2016, will not make a comeback for the World Cup in Russia, the Swedish football federation said Thursday.
"Zlatan Ibrahimovic has previously said no to playing on the national team and he hasn't changed his mind," the federation said in a statement after the player dropped numerous hints of a possible return.
