PSG’s talisman, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is battling to be fit for for his country’s cruicial matches to qualify for Euro 2016 as his home side,Sweden is set to play against Russia and Liechtenstein in Stockholm, but he had maintained that he won’t risk to play pain-killing injections.
The Sweden captain said in a media conference in Stockholm that he is still suffering from an injured heel tendon which has caused him to miss four consecutive league matches and Champions League in previous weeks for Paris Saint Germain
“I won’t play with painkillers that can make things a lot worse, against Lyon I played with a painkilling injection and it lasted 45 minutes. After that it was chaos,”‘ he lamented.
Zlatan said that his long career had taught him to be conscious of his body, rather than try to play when injured. “If you play when you’re injured you punish yourself in the long run. I go around almost like a zombie when I’m injured.”
When Zlatan was asked whether he has any interest to coach his national side, he responded “Absolutely not, I’d knock two of my players out after the first half.”
