Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso is trying to speed up his recovery and he has set himself a three-month target to be back on the pitch.
The Italian international suffered from severed knee ligament damage on December 7 and he had to undergo surgery. Initial reports suggested a six month absence from the pitch.
However, Gattuso thinks he can slash that time as he eyes a return before the end of the season.
"I will be back in three months," Gattuso told Grazia magazine.
"The doctors think I am crazy, I am always trying to break the barrier and I exaggerate with the exercises, but I am made like this."
Gattuso has been keeping a close eye on affairs at the club, even though he has been absent. The midfielder is happy Brazilian team-mate Kaka stayed on after the Manchester City transfer saga.
"I am proud of his choice. It means that he is a champion who has values and recognizes the team," added Gattuso.
Gattuso is aiming to be back for the UEFA Cup final if Milan reach it.
In any case, he should return for Italy's involvement in the 2009 Confederations Cup tournament.
