Ismael Bennacer is gearing up for his long-awaited return to AC Milan after a four-month absence due to a severe calf injury. The midfielder’s determination has been further fueled by Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s recent encouraging words, highlighting Bennacer’s potential to bring quality back to the team.
Calciomercato report how the Algerian international’s recovery journey began in Qatar, where he underwent rehabilitation at the renowned Aspetar clinic in Doha. This initial phase, which started in late October, has concluded successfully. Bennacer kept his fans updated throughout this period, sharing videos of his rigorous training regimen and the positive progress he was making.
In an exciting development, Bennacer is set to return to Milanello, AC Milan’s training ground, earlier than initially planned. He will commence his re-athleticization phase, marking a crucial step in his recovery process. The midfielder is eager to put the challenging post-injury period behind him and reclaim his role as a key player for the Rossoneri.
Despite his high motivation, the club is approaching his return with caution, considering Bennacer’s history of injuries in recent seasons. Last year, he was limited to just 20 appearances due to various health issues. If all goes according to plan, Bennacer is expected to be available for selection by mid-January, providing a significant boost to Paulo Fonseca’s squad.
