Inter are set to ignore doctor’s advice and field Zlatan Ibrahimovic against Lazio this weekend, according to reports.
The Italian news agencies maintain the meeting with Professor Alfredson in Sweden yesterday – accompanied by club doctor Franco Combi – ruled there was no need for surgery on a recurring left knee problem.
However, he did advise only light training for the first week of rehabilitation as Ibrahimovic tries to recover his form.
It is reported that Inter are going to play him against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday anyway, forcing him to again grit his teeth through the pain.
The Nerazzurri feel they cannot risk going to Rome without their star striker now that the Serie A advantage has been cut to just four points.
Ibra returned to Italy and the Pinetina training ground today, working on specific rehabilitation and cycling.
Luis Figo and Esteban Cambiasso are also hoping to be part of the Lazio game after recovering from their injuries.
