Recently, Jonas Jerebko, who has not played in the national team since the European Championships in 2013, was taken out of the large Swedish gross squad for the European Championship qualifiers in February.
But that did not mean that it was completely certain that he would actually make a comeback.
- The chance is better than in a long time, but we do not charge anything in advance.
We maintain the dialogue with him, the union's general secretary Fredrik Joulamo told SVT Sport then.
Now comes a confirmation from Jerebko himself.
On Instagram he writes:
"It was a while ago!
As I have no contract, I will represent my country in the upcoming European Championship qualifiers.
Proud and honored to represent Sweden again ", writes the 33-year-old.
Jerebko recently broke his contract with Russian BC Khimki for family reasons.
