Shanghai Shenhua has confirmed that midfielder Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back in training and ready to play for the club. The Swedish striker was suspended for four games earlier this month due to an alleged breach of contract, but he has now been granted a medical clearance and will be able to return to action soon.

Ibrahimovic had been out of action since his knee ligament surgery in December, but he has made progress in recent weeks and is expected to make a full recovery within the next few days. The return of Ibrahimovic to the team could have a big impact on the club's performance, as they look to build on their impressive start to the season.

The return of Ibrahimovic will also provide some much-needed stability for the midfield, where Marco Reus has struggled to find consistent form throughout the season. With Zlatan Ibrahimovic back in the fold, the club should be confident that they can improve their attacking performances without relying on any individual players.

However, it remains to be seen how quickly the club can get Ibrahimovic back into action. He has already missed several matches due to injuries, so there may not be enough time for him to fully recover before the start of the Premier League season. Nonetheless, the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic will undoubtedly be a boost to the club's squad and could help them reach new heights in the upcoming campaign.
