Former Sweden manager Janne Andersson does not believe that Zlatan Ibrahimovic merits a return to the national team.
There are some rumors that Ibrahimovic will be taking his place in the Sweden squad for the World Cup. The player is currently plying his trade in the MLS with LA Galaxy.
The 36-year-old left the national team after the Euro 2016 tournament, with Sweden qualifying for the World Cup without him.
Andersson told TYC Sport: "Ibrahimovic said no to the national team.
"He was not going to be in the team after the European Championship, and I respected him.
"If you rejected the team, I do not think you should come back. I respect what he said and those who said 'yes'.
"[Ibrahimovic] has not called me, but he's definitely not included in the plans for the World Cup."
