Injury doubt Ekdal included in Sweden's Euro 2016 squad

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will captain Sweden at Euro 2016 but they could without Albin Ekdal following an end-of-season celebration mishap.

Albin Ekdal has been included in Sweden's 23-man squad for Euro 2016, despite the injured midfielder being a serious doubt for the tournament.

The Hamburg player suffered a deep cut to his back when falling onto a table while celebrating his club retaining its Bundesliga status over the weekend and it remains to be seen if he will recover in time to feature in France next month.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will captain a Swedish roster that includes IFK Norrkoping forward Emir Kujovic, last year's top scorer in the Allsvenskan.
