Whether there is a causal relationship is of course conjecture. However, AC Milan won for the first time in a month, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic returning to match selection.
With Ibrahimovic on the bench for 90 minutes, Milan were very strong for Torino at home, 1-0. This ended a seven-game streak with no wins.
Ibrahimovic had knee surgery in May and has not played since. Some feared the end of his career, but the 41-year-old Swede’s return is indeed imminent.
Giroud reached the destination
Torino had the best chance at the start and Perr Schuurs played on central defense throughout the game and was shown a yellow card. However, only one goal came from the opposite side. AC Milan’s striker Olivier Giroud took the header after Theo Hernández’s midfielder.
As he remained excited until the last minute, Milan coach Stefano Pioli did not dare to give Ibrahimovic playing time. The big forward could make a comeback next week with Milan’s visit to Monza.
In any case, Ibrahimovic will give up on Tuesday’s duel with Tottenham Hotspur. Milan did not sign for the Champions League due to his ongoing injury.
Milan last won on January 4th. The team was then eliminated by Torino at Coppa Italia, forced to transfer the Super Cup to Internazionale and scoring just two points in five league games.
If Ibrahimovic can make a comeback later, second place in Serie A looks like the highest achievable. Napoli are fifteen points away from the defending champions and also played one match.
