Milan Pair Alessandro Nesta & Dida Set For Injury Comeback Against Bologna
The duo will return to boost the Rossoneri’s title challenge…
By Vince Masiello
Nesta has been out of action since suffering a thigh injury during a 4-0 win over Siena on January 17, but the 33-year-old has resumed full training at Milanello this week and is expected to reclaim his place next to Thiago Silva at the heart of Leonardo’s defence.
Dida sat out last week’s home draw with Livorno after suffering a recurrence of a back problem but trained with the rest of the squad yesterday and will push for a starting shirt along with Christian Abbiati.
But Leonardo is still sweating over the fitness of full-back Gianluca Zambrotta who is nursing a calf problem, while new signing Amantino Mancini is unlikely to make the squad for the visit to the Dall'Ara as the Brazilian is still short of match-fitness.
