THE BIGGER PICTURE: The veteran forward remained out of action for the majority of this season after he underwent surgery on his left knee in May 2022. He returned to action on 26 February this year and even scored a goal in a league clash against Udinese. But Ibrahimovic reportedly suffered a thigh injury and is likely to miss the next matches for the club.

AND WHAT'S MORE: The 41-year-old penned a one-year contract in July 2022 after a successful title-winning campaign during the 2021/22 season. He had scored eight league goals as Milan lifted the trophy. Last month, the player himself suggested that if he is in good shape next season he would love to continue at the club.
