Zlatan Ibrahimovic took part in separate activites in training this week after missing the match against Verona thanks to a flu. On Wednesday, he again trained alone but took part in on-field activities. There continues to be rising optimism that Ibrahimovic will recover for Sunday night's derby, as Pioli prepares to welcome his striker back into full training on Thursday afternoon.
Milan also have good news in the form of Conti and Kjaer, both of whom returned to the group, as well as Biglia who on Tuesday took part in training with the rest of his teammates.
