"In the initial phase we felt that those playing the Euros can't double up, but I've had a talk with Zlatan," Ericson said, adding that it was not yet confirmed the striker would take part in the Olympic tournament.
"It could be a new phase in his career; and Zlatan has said that he is willing to wait until after the Euros (to decide). I want to keep open the tiniest gap that might exist, because it would be fantastic to bring Zlatan."
The Rio Olympics run from Aug. 5-22 with the men's national football teams made up of mostly under-23 players, with an allowance for some older players.
