Borriello's comeback from long injuries

Marco Borriello’s long injury nightmare is coming to an end and he hopes to play in Milan’s final games of the season.

The former Genoa striker has been struggling throughout the campaign with a series of setbacks that have seen him make just eight appearances in all competition.

“I am training twice a day and my leg is holding up. I’m so happy that I can start running and look ahead without worrying about what this season has been like for me,” he told Milan Channel.

“We will not take risks or push the recovery process, but if all goes well I’d love to play some of the important games that await us in May.”

The Rossoneri certainly have a tough run-in as they face Juventus, Udinese, Roma and Fiorentina.

Borriello returned to San Siro after scoring 19 goals for Genoa last term, but has struggled with injuries to the meniscus ligament, a recurring thigh strain and in February underwent surgery to remove a cyst from his right thigh.

“Fans stop me in the street and ask when I’ll return. I can only focus on working hard and doing well in a Milan jersey, whether that is this season or the next.

“My objective is to play at Milan for many years to come and hopefully end my career here.”
