Gabriel Milito can at last see some light at the end of the tunnel after playing his first game in Barcelona colours in 569 days.
The Argentina international appeared in a friendly encounter against visiting Bolivian outfit Bolivar at the Blaugrana's Ciutat Esportiva training complex.
Though the game may have only been played at a slow pace, Milito's participation marked a huge step forward after having not played for over 18 months.
Milito was sidelined in May 2008 after damaging the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the Champions League semi-final against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Tissue from his left knee was required to repair the damage and that set his recovery time back even further. Indeed, he missed the entire treble-winning campaign.
Having played in the friendly, Milito's return in the weeks to come was hailed by coach Pep Guardiola, who has not yet been able to select the former Real Zaragoza star during his spell in charge.
"It will be a very big day when Milito can be called into the squad for a game," the trainer was quoted as saying by Sport.
