The Swede has not yet completed his process of recovery, and with the summer vacations having started, Inter were expecting him to play it safe to be fully fit for next season.
However, he has declared that he is focusing on playing Sweden's Euro 2008 qualifying matches.
"The Nerazzurri told me to be careful, but this is my national team and not Inter," he declared.
"Of course the club’s opinion counts, but in the end I will decide along with the [national team's] medical staff and coach; we are a group.
"I will do everything I can to play, although it is logical that I am afraid I might hurt myself again."
As for reports linking him to Milan, he said: "As I have already said, my future is with Inter. I want to honour my contract and I am happy to be here."
The former Juventus man also spoke about his supposed complimentary remarks about Luciano Moggi, something that created quite a stir at Inter.
"I gave an interview to a journalist I did not know, and Moggi was also there, and my statements were blown out of proportion," he clarified.
"I thought it would be a positive story, but the journalist didn’t do a good job."
