JAKARTA - AC Milan has been waiting for the agenda for the 20th week of the Italian League 2021/2022 to face AS Roma. Ahead of the match which took place on Friday, January 7, Milan's condition began to improve.

Quoted from Italian Football, Wednesday, the four Rossoneri players, namely Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Rafael Leao, Davide Calbria and Ante Rebic who were previously sidelined have now fully recovered and started attending training sessions. Only Ante Rebic was still undergoing separate training last Sunday.

The return of these four players is definitely comforting news for Stefano Pioli. Because he could have had more player options against Roma.

Previously, it was known that Milan had been hit by a storm of injuries since the end of last year before the half-season break in the Italian League.

Rafael Leao, Ante Rebic and Davide Calabura have muscle problems, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic picked up a left knee injury ahead of the match against Empoli some time ago.

Although there is good news from four players who have started to join, Milan's condition is still not really prime. Because they also still lost Simon Kjaer who was also injured and was forced to miss until the end of the season.

In addition, Fode Ballo-Toure, Franck Kessie and Ismael Bennacer will also miss at least until next February as they will be competing with their respective countries in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Regardless of the condition of the players, this match against Roma is quite important for Milan. Because, they are eyeing victory in order to keep the distance from Inter who are at the top of the standings.

So far the Rossoneri are still in second place with 42 points from 19 matches. That number is four points behind Inter Milan who are at the top of the standings.
