Finally is the word Milan supporters repeat the most in recent hours, since tonight at the Olimpico in Rome against Lazio in the Coppa Italia round of 16 Ardon Jashari returns to action after more than three months without an official match. He starts from the first minute, the Swiss midfielder replaces Luka Modric who begins on the bench in the holding role in front of the defense.
His comeback is reported this morning by Tuttosport, which explains the keys of Milan’s midfield move to the second-most expensive signing of the club’s summer window. Milan paid 37 million euros including bonuses to take him from Club Brugge after a long negotiation. His season opened with trouble, at the end of August during a training session at Milanello he suffered a fibula fracture after a clash with Santiago Gimenez. The layoff lasted long, the worst is now behind him and Jashari, who played 90 minutes in the friendly against Virtus Entella during the November break, is ready to return in an official match.
Milan supporters want to see him, and Massimiliano Allegri feels the same. He told SportMediaset yesterday, "More than seeing Jashari’s qualities, this is a chance to check his physical condition. When he arrived he had been stopped for about six weeks. He played 45 minutes then he got injured for two months. I want to understand where he stands on the athletic side." The answer arrives at 9:00 PM CET tonight when Jashari steps on the pitch again after a long absence.
