"In the initial phase we felt that those playing the Euros
can't double up, but I've had a talk with Zlatan," Ericson said,
adding that it was not yet confirmed the striker would take part
in the Olympic tournament.
"It could be a new phase in his career; and Zlatan has said that
he is willing to wait until after the Euros (to decide). I want
to keep open the tiniest gap that might exist, because it would
be fantastic to bring Zlatan."
The Rio Olympics run from Aug. 5-22 with the men's national
soccer teams made up of mostly under-23 players, with an
allowance for some older players.
