AC Milan have been handed a major boost following the return of veteran forward and key player Zlatan Ibrahimovic back in training.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back in training with the AC Milan squad ahead of their clash against Genoa on Wednesday.

The big Swede has not played for the Rossoneri since coming off with a hamstring injury during a 3-1 win away at Napoli on November 22.

Ibrahimovic scored twice in that game to take his tally for the season into double figures. He has managed 10 goals in Serie A in just six appearances so far this campaign.

However, Milan have done quite well in his absence, recording league wins over Fiorentina and Sampdoria prior to Sunday’s home draw with Parma.

Prior to the 2-2 draw, Stefano Pioli did say that he was hopeful Ibrahimovic would hopefully be able to return for the game against Genoa on Wednesday.

Milan did look like slipping to defeat against Parma, as they trailed 2-0 with little under half an hour remaining in the game. However, a brace from Theo Hernandez spared their blushes and saw them maintain their unbeaten run.

As Milan began preparations ahead of the Genoa clash, the club’s social media team released pictures of the squad in training. Ibrahimovic was among the group and that means he could play a part on Wednesday.
