[골닷컴] Reporter Man-Sung Han = AC Milan’s classic striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic (39), who recovered from injuries, is expected to play a comeback match against his home team, Manchester United (Man United).
As a player, Ibrahimovic is making a big success, scoring 16 goals in 21 matches, including the cup competition, in Milan this season, which has reached the age of infidelity. However, at the end of last month, he suffered an injury in which his hip abductor muscle was torn. Because of this, he was not able to compete in the first leg of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League round of 16, where Milan met his home team, Manchester United. Manchester United and Milan scored a 1-1 draw in the match that day.

British TV’Sky Sports’ reported that Ibrahimovic recovered from injuries ahead of the Europa League game 2 against Manchester United on the 19th (Korean time), and that he will come back on that day.
In fact, after recovering from the injury, Ibrahimovic joined Milan’s team training held on the 17th and performed 100% of all workouts normally. However, it is unreasonable for him, who returned after about three weeks, to start at Manchester United. ‘Sky Sports’ predicted that Ibrahimovic is likely to be on the waiting list for the United Nations in Sanshiro. In other words, he could play against Manchester United as a substitute for the second half.

Meanwhile, Milan have halted with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in the recent four games Ibrahimovic missed. Currently, Milan are seeking to advance to the Europa League quarterfinals, and in Serie A in Italy, they are in second place after rival Inter. However, the gap between league leaders Inter and Milan has now widened by nine points. Milan is aiming to advance to the Champions League in about 7 years after the 2013/14 season by maintaining the fourth place rather than the Serie A championship.
