STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Zlatan Ibrahimovic may be about to thrill Swedish soccer fans again if Janne Andersson names him in his squad for this month's World Cup qualifiers after the pair settled their differences to pave the way for the talismanic striker's return.

Ibrahimovic, 39, walked away from the national team after Sweden exited Euro 2016 at the group stage and his relationship with Andersson, who took over after that tournament, was limited to sniping form the sidelines while hinting at a comeback.

Including the striker in the squad would be a gamble but might inspire the well-organised Sweden team at this year's Euros where they face Spain, Poland and Slovakia in Group E. Some regard him as arrogant, belligerent and not Swedish enough -- something he described in January 2018 as"undercover racism" because he does not have a Swedish-sounding name.

For all the titles he has collected in a glittering career, Ibra has never won the Champions League, but a medal from the European Championship would likely be given pride of place in what is already a stuffed trophy cabinet.
