Ibrahimovic doubtful
Afp, Berlin
Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be forced to miss his country's Group B decider against England because a groin injury is not responding to treatment, coach Lars Lagerback said on Saturday."As things stand at the moment, it does not look as if he will be able to play," Lagerback said. Juventus forward Ibrahimovic was withdrawn at half-time in the 1-0 win over Paraguay on Thursday, saying he had strained a groin muscle while warming up. Sweden trail England by two points in Group B and need to win Wednesday's match in Cologne to finish top of the group. England and Sweden's opponents in the next round, Germany and Ecuador, face off to decide the positions in Group A on the same day. Lagerback said he would prefer to meet the South Americans. "Both teams are strong, so it does not really matter who we play against. But Ecuador would perhaps be easier, because Germany have the home crowd behind them."
