Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg missed Sweden's friendly international with Ivory Coast on Wednesday after suffering a migraine, according to Sweden coach Lars Lagerback.

Ljungberg was forced to sit out the game, which Ivory Coast won 1-0 thanks to a Didier Drogba strike, after complaining of blurred vision during Sweden's pre-game warm-up session.

"We had just warmed-up for five minutes when he told me about the first signals of migraine," Lagerback told Swedish newspaper Expressen.
