Sergio Conceição may soon have one of Milan’s standout players from last season back at his disposal. This morning, QS opened with the headline:
"Loftus-Cheek revs up and targets Como"
This is to confirm that the English midfielder is now close to returning after a significant ordeal.
Having made his comeback for the Supercoppa only to suffer another setback in the final against Inter in Riyadh, Loftus-Cheek has spent the last two months in the infirmary, alternating between moments of optimism and relapses that have delayed his return week after week.
The feeling now is that the light at the end of the tunnel is finally becoming visible, with Saturday’s match against Como potentially marking the return of Milan’s No. 8 to the pitch.
