Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back in training with the Milan squad ahead of the Serie A leaders trip to Genoa on Wednesday.
The Swedish striker has not featured for his club since coming off with a hamstring injury during a 3-1 win away at Napoli on November 22.
Ibrahimovic scored twice in that game to take his tally for the season into double figures – he has managed 10 goals in Serie A in just six appearances so far this campaign.
However, Milan have not missed him too much during his absence, recording league wins over Fiorentina and Sampdoria prior to Sunday s home draw with Parma.
Coach Stefano Pioli had said prior to the 2-2 result at San Siro that Ibrahimovic would hopefully be able to return for the midweek game against Genoa.
As Milan began preparations for that fixture on Monday, the club s social media team released pictures of the squad in training – and Ibrahimovic was among the group.
Guess who Z back

Milan remain unbeaten in Serie A – in the previous three seasons when the Italian giants have not lost any of their first 11 league matches (1991-92, 1992-93 and 2003-04) they have gone on to win the Scudetto.
After the Parma result, the Rossoneri hold a three-point advantage at the summit over rivals Inter, while Napoli and reigning champions Juventus are a further point adrift of the early leaders.
Ibrahimovic has played a key role in the club s resurgence since he rejoined for a second spell in January 2020.
The 39-year-old scored 11 goals in the second half of the 2019-20 season, helping Milan qualify for the Europa League. Having progressed through the group stage this term, they will face Red Star Belgrade in the last 32 of the competition.
