He made his way back into the AC Milan team in 2020 had back then had signed a six-month-long contract which was subject to extension.

A lot of sporting pundits had claimed that Zlata Ibrahimovic brought in a positive attitude in the team and leaving out the former LA Galaxy player came in as a big surprise. Apart from Ronaldo, his teammates from Juventus Juan Cuadrado and Matthijs De Ligt were the ones who made it to the list. The playing XI received mixed reactions from the fans.

Talking about Zlatan, he is been away from the matches due to injuries and is not expected to take on the field until the mid-January. This means Zlatan could miss out on the match against Juventus on January 6, 2020.
