Ismael Bennacer has returned to training with the AC Milan squad, taking part in the entire training session at Milanello this morning. Obviously, this is great news for the Rossoneri.
Bennmacer injured his calf in the middle of September and was forced to surgery, keeping him on the sidelines for quite some time. Indeed, for the first time in three months, he stepped onto the Milanello pitch to train with his teammates today.
Given the absences in midfield lately, this is a huge boost for Paulo Fonseca and should help a lot. Especially since Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders have been forced to work overtime in the midfield tandem, with no proper alternatives available.
Bennacer will be on the bench for Milan’s game against Roma next weekend and it remains to be seen if he will get a few minutes. Of course, after such a serious injury, the Rossoneri don’t intend to take any risks with the Algerian.

Welcome back.
He needs time to gain his form, and should be given a chance to prove himself again this season. However, most likely will never the see world class midfielder that he used to be.
I give him a month until he is injured again…
Well in Isma! Prove any lingering doubts wrong and exceed the levels you had previously been at! If Bennacer comes back and maintains his previous world class levels then by default we have one of the best mid five starting in Europe. Fofana, Isma double pivot behind Rafa Tiji Pulisic! Intimidating as f*cl and enough to put pause to any problems upfront at 9 hopefully until we can bring in a complementary no. 9.
Bennacer isn’t the player we’ve accustomed to seeing but I do want to see him next to Fofana with Reijnders more advanced. He’s more capable than Musah or RLC or Terraciano in that position.
