Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Milan’s striker, will probably play his last game on Sunday against Atalanta at San Siro, and this information was conveyed by journalist Peppe Di Stefano.
Ibrahimovic has had problems with injuries for some time, and he missed as many as 19 games this season.
“There has been so much good news for Milan lately that I am very sorry to announce this. Zlatan is probably finishing his career at the end of the season. “I received information from a Milan player that he cried in pain during the last training session, but that he plays under anesthesia and enduring,” Di Stefano wrote.
The journalist stated that allegedly his coach Stefano Pioli and the medical team forbade him to play, but he still wants to be present in spite of everything.
“Zlatan does not train with the team from Tuesday until Friday, he is constantly tormented by his knee because it is swollen, blue and causes severe pain. He is stubborn, but he himself knows that he has only two options for the summer – either to end his career peacefully or to go for risky complete knee surgery and get ready for another, last season in his career. The only thing that draws Zlatan for the next season is the last attempt to win the Champions League, but the chances are that 90% will end his career this season, I give 10% chances to continue next season “, added Peppe di Stefano.
“He can’t play for more than 10-15 minutes, Milan’s doctors confirmed this to me. Simply, his knee swells and prevents him from running normally. Operation? It might have prevented the pain for a while, to ease it, but the pain would return in a few months. Zlatan was also affected by the death of Mino Raiola, so that can be a turning point, even though the knee is the biggest reason “.
Di Stefano finally concludes.
“If Milan takes the Scudetto, I think that’s it. I think we are watching Zlatan for the last time at San Siro on Sunday. I wish it wasn’t like that, I would like him to deny me, he is my friend, but he knows what is best for him! ”
