Ardon Jashari was AC Milan’s big coup of the summer mercato, but he has not been able to shine just yet, due to injury.
It was a summer of Jashari for Milan, with most of the window spent chasing the Swiss midfielder. Eventually, a deal was gotten over the line, and just as quickly as he arrived, he was on the injury table.

A training collision with Santiago Gimenez resulted in a fracture of his fibula, and the excitement was halted.
Back up to speed
In the past few months, he has spent time between Switzerland and Milan, and his recovery is going swimmingly. According to Tuttosport, via MilanNews, he is hoping to be ready for the game against Roma at San Siro on November 2.
Failing that, the hopes are for Parma, which takes place the following week, or even the Derby della Madonnina, which falls after the international break. No risks will be taken, so a return will only happen when he is ready.
The midfielder ‘sees the light’ and has been working tirelessly to return before he was scheduled to. As MilanPosts also relayed on X, his mood is increasing, and there are even suggestions from inside the club that he is determined to shorten his recovery time further, if possible.
Not sure what’s the rush, he should take the time to recover properly. Not like he will play, Allegri sees him as Modric alternative, so 2 years…
Modric jashari rabiot that midfield is bad*ss
Fofana has been playing well. Not sure that Jashari displaces him right away.
Once he comes back he’ll need to do something special to get into the starting line up because right now it seems Allegri already has a set midfielders he’ll play every week.
Although jashari’s transfer fee might put a pressure from the club to Allegri to play him more.
“jashari’s transfer fee might put a pressure from the club to Allegri to play him more.”
LOL!!! Nope. Allegri couldn’t care less. Professional coaches don’t look at the price tags or salaries when they choose their tactics. 😀
The good news is that if any of the midfield trio drops his performance level or gets injured we actually have viable backups. When did we last have it like this?
The bad news is we only have viable backups in the midfield.
And perhaps one decent CB. And probably a decent GK. But yeah, that’s about it.
