(Reuters) - AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has defended his controversial appearance at Italy's Sanremo music festival and reiterated his belief that athletes like Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James should stay out of politics. "I had the chance to be a guest at the Festival, one of the most important in Italy, and decided to participate." On his injury, Ibrahimovic added: "I picked up a small injury, but I can still do everything. My schedule at the Festival won’t change." Ibrahimovic had an on-pitch spat with Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku recently but insisted that "there is no personal problem between us".
