Zlatan Ibrahimovic Injury Update, News And Know When He Will Return
Zlatan will turn 40-years next month and is still scoring some insane goals. Furthermore, he scored 15 goals in just 19 appearances for AC Milan. The goals helped Milan to finish in the top 4 and return to Champions League. Considering the performance, AC Milan handed a one-year contract to the striker which will keep him at San Siro until the end of the 2021/22 season.
Currently, the striker has recovered from his knee injury. But he is still facing some pain. It is expected that the pain is because of the match he played against Lazio. Zlatan shared an image of his knee which has stitches. However, this is not an injury and he is given rest because of the pain.
The medical staff is afraid that if he will appear in the game against Liverpool, he’ll get a severe injury. The problems with the Achilles tendon could see him missing out on AC Milan’s ensuing Serie A fixture as well.
Last season, Zlatan was in good goal scoring form but he missed almost 25 games for AC Milan. Also, during his time at Manchester, he used more than 29 games in the last season due to injury. This means, Zlatan can still score goals, but the only thing which is stopping him is his fitness.
AC Milan is in the group of death along with Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, and Porto. Manager Stefano Pioli will surely miss the striker as he may play an important part in the squad. Olivier Giroud is the expected replacement of Zlatan who has scored 2 goals till now in the Serie A.
