Milan play at home at the San Siro against Torino on Friday.
In an interview with Italian Mediaset, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is said to be eligible to make his season debut.
- I feel really well.
I have returned to the group and feel free, both on and off the pitch.
I did everything to help the coach, the staff and the club from the outside during this period.
I have been patient, the recovery is going according to plan, says Ibrahimovic.
"I have many chapters left to write"
It was over eight months since Zlatan Ibrahimovic played for Milan in the season finale against Sassuolo.
Despite that, the 41-year-old sees the future brightly.
- At the age of 41, I still have many chapters left to write because quality does not disappear.
My body changes, the physical preparation is different, but the quality remains.
In my case, nothing changes, he says.
"I'm number one"
Ibrahimovic's last goal came over a year ago.
But he doesn't care much for criticism.
- Criticism?
It belongs, because if you don't get criticism, you don't belong to the top.
I have been criticized for 25 years because I am number one.
I've gotten used to it.
It's like pouring gasoline on the fire, he says and continues:
- My comeback is not about charity.
If I'm going to play, it has to give results.
Otherwise it would not have been a challenge.
Then I would have rather stayed at home with my children.
It remains to be seen if Ibrahimovic plays for his European Cup-chasing Milan against Torino on Friday night.
