Zlatan is back

Milan have now won their last three outings and celebrated today’s continuation of good fortune with the return of veteran striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the win over Atalanta 2-0 yesterday evening.

The Swedish centre forward underwent knee surgery in May last year amid fears at the time that Ibrahimovic could call it a day on his stellar career.

Ibrahimovic came on in the 74th and at age 41 and 146 days became the oldest Milan player in recent memory, beating the mark that Alessandro Costacurta had established at 41 years and 25 days.
