La Gazzetta dello Sport, in today's edition, highlighted that Ismael Bennacer will return to Milanello around mid-December. By the end of the month or, at the latest, after the 'Final Four' of the Italian Super Cup scheduled for the first week of January 2025 in Saudi Arabia, he is expected to return to the field.

If this timeline is followed, it would align with the initial four-month recovery period projected in September. This was when the French-Algerian midfielder underwent surgery in Finland for a severe injury to the medial gastrocnemius muscle in his right calf, sustained while on international duty.
Meanwhile, Bennacer, who celebrated his 27th birthday yesterday, December 1, attended the Formula One Qatar Grand Prix in person.
The former Empoli player is currently completing the first phase of his rehabilitation at the 'Aspetar' clinic in Doha and took the opportunity to visit the racetrack.
At 'Losail', as highlighted by the Italian newspaper mentioned above, Bennacer met former AC Milan player Marcel Desailly and posed for a photo with him, which was later shared on social media.
