　　原文：World-Sweden's Ibrahimovic recovering from injury

　　By Erik Kirschbaum

　　BREMEN, Germany, June 22 (Reuters) - Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic's injured groin has improved further and he could be ready to play against Germany after training for more than an hour on Wednesday, coach Lars Lagerback said on Thursday.

　　The Sweden coach stopped short of saying Ibrahimovic, who has 18 goals in 40 games for Sweden, would automatically be recalled to the starting lineup for Saturday's second round match against the World Cup hosts.

　　ADVERTISEMENT

　　"He practised yesterday and it was positive," Lagerback told a news conference after Ibrahimovic missed Sweden's 2-2 draw against England after injuring his groin while warming up for their 1-0 victory over Paraguay in their second Group B match.

　　"It is going in the right direction. We have to wait and see. It's one thing to do a practice for 65 minutes and another to play a match. We have to see, but we're hopeful."

　　Lagerback would not be drawn on whether he would reinstate Ibrahimovic and drop replacement Marcus Allback to the bench. Allback scored against England and set up the winner in the game against Paraguay. "He's playing very well, as he always does," Lagerback said of Allback. "He linked well with the midfield and forwards."

　　Lagerback also praised Ibrahimovic for "working hard in the matches he played" and creating good scoring chances, especially in their opening goalless draw against Trinidad & Tobago.

　　When asked how Ibrahimovic might react if he is fit but still left out of the starting team, Lagerback said:

　　"I would guess like almost every player. I would guess he'd be rather disappointed."
