When AC Milan on Thursday have to try to defend their 1-1 result from the away game against Manchester United last week, it seems to be with a certain Swedish striker in the squad. Zlatan Ibrahimovic did not manage to get rid of his injury when the two teams met in their first of two showdowns, but it seems that he will be ready for the return in two days.

Zlatan last played on February 28 when he had to be forced out with an injury. It has kept him out until now, but after participating in a full training session with the rest of the squad, it looks like a comeback for the Swede.

Besides being a huge boost for Milan in their hopes of advancing to the quarter-finals of the tournament, it also means a reunion with Manchester United for Zlatan, who earlier in his career managed to appear 53 times for United, where he equalized with 29 scores.
