MN: Ballo-Toure back for Sassuolo game as he returns to training

AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli is close to getting another player back from injury as Fode Ballo-Toure is back with the squad, a report claims.

In the 91st minute of Milan’s 3-0 friendly loss against PSV, Ballo-Toure – who had come on as a substitute in the second half as part of a mass rotation – went off the field in pain due to a shoulder injury after playing for 25 minutes.

It was then confirmed that the Senegal international had sustained a dislocated shoulder and he had to undergo a minor operation on it to make sure everything was back in place, with an estimated recovery time (as of January 2) of a month.

MilanNews report that Ballo-Touré returned to training with the rest of the squad at Milanello today having fully recovered from his shoulder issue and the after-effects of surgery. The former Monaco man should therefore be called up for Sunday’s match against Sassuolo.
