AC Milan star striker to recover in time for derby clash

AC Milan star striker Nikola Kalinic could recover in time for the incoming derby clash against Inter, Sky Sport reports.

The Croatia striker picked up a muscle injury after in the last Serie A game played against Roma and failed to make it into the Croatia national team squad for the International break.

AC Milan fans feared the former Fiorentina star would have not managed to be eligible to play against Inter but according to the Italian broadcasters there is now optimism regarding his physical conditions.

​Kalinic failed to impress in the last game of the rossoneri against Roma and has managed two goals and as much assists in the opening seven games of the season.
The former Blackburn flop joined AC Milan from Fiorentina in a € 5 million loan move with a € 20 million option to buy last summer.

Montella and AC Milan’s technical staff hope he will manage to play against Inter on the 15ht of October.
