Newspaper speculation emerged over the state of his left knee tendon after the Swede walked off just 20 minutes into his first training session.

He had considered surgery for the recurring injury that has been troubling him for months, but decided to postpone so he could play in Euro 2008.

“Ibra will be ready for the start of the season,” said chief medic Franco Combi in today’s Press conference.

“Obviously it would have been better had be not played in the European Championship, but the Swedish medical staff were very careful.

“We resumed the rehabilitation programme and at this moment we are not even considering the possibility of surgery.

“Besides, even if he did go under the knife, it would be to clean up the area. That would keep him out of action for at most three weeks and not the many months that were rumoured in the media.”
