At Tuesday's press conference, coach Stefano Pioli confirmed that the Swedish 38-year-old will be eligible for Wednesday's league match against Spal - if he himself gives the go-ahead.

- Zlatan is a lion. If he trains tonight like he did yesterday - and he gives me a "okay" - then he can be called to tomorrow's match, says Pioli according to Italian Sky Sport.

According to Milan News, Zlatan passed the tests well and will join the squad against Spal, where he will learn to start on the bench.

Zlatan's last match with Milan was against Genoa before the league was canceled due to the corona pandemic. Milan are seventh in the league ahead of Wednesday's match.
