Injury doubt Ekdal included in Sweden's Euro 2016 squad

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 their Bundesliga status at 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 party that includes IFK Norrkoping forward Emir Kujovic, last year's top scorer in the Allsvenskan.

"I think we have a good mix, with a world-class player taking a big responsibility for the team, as Zlatan is doing, but also the team taking a big responsibility for Zlatan," Hamren said.
