Milan, Malick Thiaw and… Ibrahimovic

Milan, training

Important recovery in sight for AC Milan: Malick Thiaw è returned to partially train with the rest of the group, two and a half months after the left hamstring injury sustained against Borussia Dortmund. This indicates that the German defender è is close to returning to the field.

However, given the long absence, è it is unlikely that he will be available for Sunday night’s big match against Napoli at San Siro. È more likely he could be called up for the first leg of the Europa League playoffs against Rennes, scheduled for next Thursday.

This represents a first and crucial step toward the full recovery of a defense that è been badly affected by injuries. Also on the road to return are Tomori, who has also been out since late December with a hamstring problem, and Kalulu, who has had only five appearances this season and is struggling with a rectus femoris tendon injury. For both of them, however, some patience will be needed, as they are expected to return toward the end of February.

In addition, also at Milanello today was Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who attended the Rossoneri team’s training session as they continued their preparation for Sunday’s match against Napoli.
