AC Milan is hopeful Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be ready for the Champions League when he returns from his knee surgery and is now healing, know his latest injury update and return date
According to a report, the return date is currently quite questionable.
After winning the Scudetto, the Swedish player underwent surgery, and he has since been working hard to recover. However, at 41 years old, it is clear that the process is taking a little longer, and the parties concerned don’t want to rush the situation.

Ibrahimovic is still experiencing knee pain, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport, which was published by MilanNews. He is making a concerted effort to strengthen the muscles. Therefore, nobody really knows when he will return, not even the medical team.
The Champions League matches against Tottenham in February and March still stand as the target, but nothing should be assumed at this point. Ibrahimovic will have extra time to devote to Milanello as he won’t be travelling with the club to Saudi Arabia for the Supercoppa Italiana. He may, however, travel there on his own for the game.
Cantona says, “Ronaldo should learn from Ibrahimovic at Milan.”
Eric Cantona, a former Manchester United player, commented on Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent actions and contrasted them with Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s performance for Milan.
In the summer of 2021, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner left Juventus for the Red Devils. Upon his return, things initially went smoothly, with the Portuguese star rapidly winning over the supporters. Things changed for him this season after a controversial interview with Piers Morgan, as he ultimately forced his way out of the squad and signed a two-year contract with Al-Nassr.
Cantona discussed Ronaldo’s situation and contrasted it with those of more seasoned players like Ibrahimovic. Veterans can be divided into two categories: those who still think they are 25 and want to play in every game, and those who accept their advanced age and are here to encourage younger players. The latter group is conscious of the fact that they won’t play in every game, but they are also conscious of the fact that they will have their opportunity.
Ibrahimovic, who is 40 years old, had a significant role in Milan’s Scudetto victory last year. Both on the field and in the locker room, he was a leader. The veteran Swedish striker helped the team win its first league championship in more than 10 years by scoring eight goals in 23 league games despite playing through an injury.
