AC Milan captain Riccardo Montolivo has revealed that he’s happy to finally be back in training with the Diavolo after spending the past five months on the sidelines with an injury.
The 29-year-old fractured his left tibia while playing with Italy in an international friendly against Ireland on May 31 and had spent the entire summer in recovery after receiving surgery, though he has now been deemed fit to practice with the Rossoneri once again.
Montolivo posted on his official Twitter page on Saturday following his first training session with AC Milan since his recovery and expressed his excitement to be able to play again soon.
“Finally, I’m with my team-mates once again,” said the Italian international. “I couldn’t stand to watch them from the sidelines much more!”
Despite his return to training, it is still unknown when the midfielder will be ready to make his way into coach Filippo Inzaghi’s line up, though some reports suggest that he’s hoping to make his season debut during Milan’s derby meeting with Inter on November 23.
