Sweden (Sujay Dutt, @UEFAcomSujayD)

Today at Råsunda, Johan Elmander took part in the group warm-up with the rest of the squad for the first time since having the plaster removed from his fractured foot. After warm-up, he mostly jogged on his own but also kicked a ball gently. Team captain Zlatan Ibrahimović for one was happy to see Elmander's progress. "Speaking for myself, I work well together with him, on and off the field."

Ibrahimović has won the Dutch, Italian and Spanish leagues. But he explained that he would rate success with Sweden this summer higher. "A medal here would be bigger than every other prize I've won. To win a medal for your country, it doesn't get bigger than that. To come and meet the fans would top everything. Everything."
