What They're Saying
Montenegro midfielder Elsad Zverotic (via UEFA): "This is not a pleasant situation, but we can recover. Sweden are a great team, very compact and experienced and we must be at our best to get a good result. There are no set rules in football. We didn't beat Liechtenstein despite having numerous occasions, so favorites don't win always."
Sweden captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic: "I feel good now. I can train harder than before. The pain has almost disappeared completely. I don't want to rush things, so we're building up my strength day by day during the week. I will be ready for the match."[Montenegro] are a very good opponent, they played very well against Austria. We need to be on top to bring home the points."
