Ibra’s Knee Breaks Down Again
There are fitness concerns once again over Zlatan Ibrahimovic after he reported severe pain in his troublesome left knee. Ibrahimovic has suffered terribly with a chronic knee injury this calendar year, and this forced him to miss most of Inter’s Scudetto run-in last season.

The problem cropped up while on Euro 2008 duty with Sweden, while he limped out of Inter’s first pre-season training session last month after just 20 minutes.

The forward returned to training a few weeks ago, and he has been working his way back into action, playing in both the Amsterdam Tournament and the Eusebio Cup.

He was due to play for Sweden tonight in the friendly against France, but pulled out of the game yesterday. Originally it was reported that this move was just as a precaution so that he could rest ahead of Inter’s Italian Supercup match against Roma on Sunday.

However, it has since been reported that Ibrahimovic’s troublesome knee injury has come back once again, and there are serious fears over whether this problem will ever go away.

"I feel strong in the knees and legs,” Ibrahimovic insisted.

“At the end of the last game [against Benfica last Friday] I felt a slight discomfort, but after two days of rest everything was fine.”

Only a few hours later though, Ibrahimovic broke down in training for Sweden, and is said to have been in real pain. The frontman is now considered a huge doubt for the Supercup, and with Adriano also out injured, Inter will not be ideal condition up-front.

We're goona play a keeper who conceded 5 goals on his Debut, Montella who looks about as useful as a 50yo and an overweight Brazilian guy on the wing on his debut.
