MILAN (AP) — AC Milan is getting a boost ahead of Sunday’s crucial derby match against Inter Milan with Adrien Rabiot returning from injury.

And the veteran’s presence could be key to an ever-tightening title race, with just three points separating the top five teams in Serie A.

Rabiot hasn’t played for Milan since a goalless draw against Juventus on Oct. 5 as the France midfielder injured his calf on international duty a few days later.

However, Rabiot has had extra training sessions to speed up his recovery and was back in full training on Tuesday.

“Physically and mentally, I’m ready,” Rabiot told DAZN. “I always think I can help. In my head if I’m there we are stronger because I’m someone who always gives everything.”
