It was an unusual first day at the helm of the Juventus team after Ibrahimovic, who was the subject of a doping scandal, arrived to train with the squad.
“We don’t know what the problem is,” said Giovanni Tommasini, the assistant coach.
“I don’t want to give you a number because the problem’s a bit unclear.”
Ibrahimovic did not make a comment but told reporters that he had only worked on the computer since mid-December.
The 23-year-old has been accused of using a prohibited substance and of a potential breach of the Italian Anti-Doping Agency (AEDA) regulations.
AEDA’s chief executive, Giancarlo Abete, had said that Ibrahimovic had tested positive in August and had been suspended for four games.
“The results have been confirmed by our laboratory and the test was positive,” Abete said.
“As far as I know, it’s not an isolated incident.”
Tommasi added: “The situation is not completely solved and we are talking about a drug that is a mixture of drugs and substances.”
Toni Kroos, the team’s coach, said that “he’s a computer technician”.
“He is a computer programmer and he works on computers,” he said.
Tommatisini confirmed that Ibrahimovich was wearing a protective mask.
“He doesn’t wear it at the moment,” he added.
“It’s a big problem, so we’re talking about it. “
But I can assure you that we’ll be able [to find a solution].” “

The Italian national team are aiming to beat Croatia in a friendly on Friday and return to Italy for a match against Argentina in the summer.
Ibrahimovic has been linked with a return to Manchester United after United were forced to pull out of a friendly against Juventus in the United States last month after the club’s FA Cup final exit.
Ibrahimovich had been hoping to get a deal done for him to leave Manchester United.
“Toni Krooz is working hard for Juventus and we hope that we can have a good deal,” said Ibrahimovic.
“Juventus are a great club and I want to win the championship, but this is a business.
We’ll see what happens tomorrow. “
That’s why I’m here.
“Everything will be fine, I promise.” “
The game against Juventus on Friday will be the last game Ibrahimovic will play before he will join United. “

Ibrahimović is also the subject the AEDAA’s doping investigation, which is still ongoing.
“In the case of [the AEDa] we’ve already reached a decision,” Tommassi said.
The French prosecutor’s office said that a sample of the banned substance from Ibrahimovic’s sample tested positive on November 1.
The AEDas chief prosecutor, Stefano Galati, said Ibrahimoviks drugs were found in the possession of a “doctor” who was “a computer technician” in an apartment in the eastern town of Cagliari, in southern Italy.
Ibrahimovics drugs are currently being tested for by a specialist team.
“All the substances are in good condition and we’re analysing the samples to confirm the results,” Tomsi said.
