Star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was on Wednesday named in the 35 footballers' provisional list of Sweden for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in August.
Sweden chief coach Hakan Ericson acknowledged that the inclusion of Ibrahimovic in the final list will depend largely on the next club the forward will sign after the expiration of his contract with Paris St-Germain, reports Efe.
The provisional list, which allows the inclusion of three players over 23, included another two players, Ludwig Augustinsson and Victor Nilsson Lindelof, who are part of the Swedish team in the ongoing Euro 2016.
Sweden will compete in group B at the Rio Games, along with Colombia, Nigeria and Japan.
