AC Milan star Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to Italy on Monday after two months in his native Sweden, as Serie A prepares to resume group training in a week’s time.
Ibrahimovic was
photographed arriving in Milan wearing a facemask and gloves before being
driven to the team’s training centre at Milanello.
The Swede is
expected to spend two weeks in quarantine before joining his teammates who
resumed individual training last week. Group training is set to start again on
May 18.
The 38-year-old
returned to Sweden on March 12 days after Serie A was suspended as the
coronavirus pandemic swept through Italy and Europe.
Ibrahimovic has
been busy training in Sweden with players at Hammarby, a first-division club
which he part owns.
Unlike much of the
rest of Europe, where containment has limited or prevented athletes training,
in Sweden restrictions to contain Covid-19 have been more flexible.
Serie A stars have
all returned to the peninsula with Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo flying
back to Italy last Monday from his native Portugal.
