AC Milan’s Ismaël Bennacer has provided an optimistic update on his fitness, expressing confidence that he will be in top form for the upcoming 2024 Africa Cup of Nations.
The midfielder, who underwent knee surgery at the conclusion of the previous season following an injury sustained against Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League, has successfully recovered and is eager to represent his nation in the continental tournament.
Bennacer, who missed a significant 27 matches with AC Milan during his rehabilitation period, has been diligently working towards regaining full fitness.
While he is yet to feature in a starting role for Milan since his return, the midfielder recently conveyed his assurance of being fully prepared before the commencement of the AFCON in January.
In a statement made on his YouTube channel and reported by sempremilan, Bennacer addressed his recovery progress, stating, “No no. I should get there. Impossible? No way. Everything should be fine before January.
It’s good. There is still some fluid in the knee. It’s a little bloated, but I don’t see anything else. The new cartilage has implanted well.”
The confirmation of Bennacer’s expected fitness will undoubtedly be a relief for AC Milan and Algerian football fans, as the talented midfielder looks forward to contributing to his national team’s campaign in the prestigious African tournament.
With his commitment to recovery and his determination evident, Bennacer’s return to the pitch is eagerly awaited, bringing an added boost to both AC Milan and the Algerian national team as they prepare for the upcoming challenges.
