AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ready to make a comeback against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at Anfield next week, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
What’s the story?
Liverpool will take on Milan at Anfield in their opening Champions League Group B game next week.
La Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that former Manchester United striker Ibrahimovic is ready to make his long-awaited comeback in the game.
The 39-year-old has reportedly been training with his Milan teammates for a while now and is now ready to be involved in a match.
The Swedish striker last started a match on May 9, according to Sempre Milan.
Should Liverpool be worried?
Now, Ibrahimovic is 39, and playing at home will give Liverpool an advantage.
The former Inter Milan striker may not even start against the Reds.
However, Ibrahimovic remains a competent striker even at his age.
The former Paris Saint-Germain star scored 15 goals in just 18 Serie A starts for Milan last season, helping them finish in the top four in the process.
Ibrahimovic coming off the substitutes’ bench would be a problem for the Liverpool defence, yes, even for Virgil van Dijk.
To have the striker even on the bench would be a massive boost to Milan.
