Andrea Pirlo could make his return for AC Milan in next week’s Champions League showdown with Tottenham at San Siro.
The Italian had been expected to miss the tie having suffering from injury in recent weeks, but will be rested against Parma on Saturday so he can be fully fit to feature against Harry Redknapp’s men.
Pirlo has returned to full training after suffering a hamstring injury against Bari in the Coppa Italia a fortnight ago and Goal.com Italia claims the midfielder is close to full recovery and will be available for selection.
A healthy Pirlo will be a huge boost for Milan ahead of a very winnable tie against Spurs.
