Zlatan Ibrahimovic trains for first time in EIGHT MONTHS and AC Milan ace in contention to play against Torino

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVC returned to training for the first time in EIGHT months this week.

And the 41-year-old could make his long-awaited comeback against Torino on Friday.

Ibrahimovic has been sidelined since undergoing surgery on a knee injury at the end of last season.

Despite his setback, he still signed a new one-year contract at San Siro last summer.

And he could finally make his first appearance of the campaign.

The Swede's last competitive outing came on the final day of last season at Sassuolo when Milan secured their first Serie A title for 11 years.

According to Corriere della Sera, he's set to be included in the squad to face Torino.

Although he's likely to be on the bench.

The report claims Ibrahimovic will play at most 10-15 minutes at the end of the game.

Milan need a major boost having been on a terrible run of results.

Stefano Pioli's side slipped to sixth in Serie A following a 1-0 defeat in the Derby della Madonnina on Sunday.

In all comps, I Rossoneri have now lost five of their last six matches and are winless in SEVEN.

During that period, they've collected two points from 15 in the league, which included an embarrassing 5-2 home defeat by Sassuolo, lost the Supercoppa Italiana to Inter and were dumped out of the Coppa Italia by Torino.

Despite Ibrahimovic's return to action, he won't be able to feature in the last-16 Champions League tie with Tottenham next week after he was left out of the squad by Pioli.
