Sweden skipper Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in the squad to face Finland on Tuesday in a Euro 2012 qualifier having missed the weekend win in Moldova through injury, coach Eric Hamren said Monday

"Everyone trained normally and everyone is ready to play," the TT news agency quoted Hamren as saying following a training session, though it was not clear if the veteran forward would start.

AC Milan's "Ibra," fresh from winning the Serie A title, remained in Sweden with ankle trouble while his compatriots swept the Moldovans aside.

 The Swedes have a huge challenge on in Group E to knock Holland off top spot with the Dutch currently six points clear after a perfect start - though the Swedes have a match in hand.
