Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not form part of Sweden's 23-man squad for the World Cup, the head of the country's football association has said.
The 36-year-old striker, who recently made the move from Manchester United to LA Galaxy, has not featured for Sweden since retiring in the wake of Euro 2016.
However, in recent weeks, the idea of Ibrahimovic potentially making a shock return to the international fold for the 2018 World Cup in Russia has prompted plenty of discussion.
And the former Paris Saint-Germain forward did little to quell the speculation by declaring that he would be at the tournament and that no one could stop him if he wanted to go.
