AC Milan are set to receive a major boost in their charge for European qualification as star defender Alessio Romagnoli returned to first-team training.
Romagnoli missed almost a months action after sustaining a thigh injury in the Rossoneri’s win over Bologna.
However, the Italy international is not set for a return after Milan confirmed that he completed a full first-team training session and is now set for a return against Chievo in the Serie A.
The Diavolo did manage to cope up without the 22-year-old, picking up seven from a possible nine in his absence.
