Italian centre-back Alessandro Nesta and Brazilian goalkeeper Dida have won their race to be fit in time for Milan’s Serie A trip to Bologna on Sunday, according to Sportmediaset.it.

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.
